Real Talk, Fall Edition

The fact of the matter is, I wish Cam and I were totally adorable and took Pinterest worthy photos that everyone would "ooooo" and "auuuuh" over. That every photographer would wanna give us free pictures or follow us around on our daily errands because we are so photogenic together. Truth is, we aren't that comfortable in front of the camera. We tried to copy a few Pinterest poses and couldn't stop laughing at how horrible they were turning out. So we stick to our staple poses that are easy and work--and a little photoshop never hurt no body.

Am I the only girl that secretly (now openly) wishes every photo she and her man took were stellar?

It's not happening over here.

Nevertheless, it's a good reminder that my love for my marriage runs deeper than social media worthy photos. I can't help but laugh at myself that this reminder is even surfacing. My marriage is so much more than "meets the eye" online. I hope its clear to everyone that usually the fun and rare moments get photographed and posted; not the day to day chores and tasks, serious chats, reminders to pay attention to how much I spend at the grocery store, wanting to look a certain way and not, wanting to buy that decor but refraining because I'm not making millions and so I can't shop like I am, or saying something out of hunger that I regret.

Truth be told, life isn't perfect but it is so so good the way it is. I love our less than perfect selfies because of the memories behind them. I love figuring out life with my sweetheart. I'm okay when things don't work as planned (sometimes) because of the opportunities it gives us to grow together. Life is real nice but I'm still thankful for hired photographers who can work photoshop.

















Thank you LC Photography for doing a great job on our pics. You really helped out our lack of modeling skills.

Man & Wife

June 23, that blessed day, couldn't have been any sweeter. Our best Photographer of all time, Suzy O Photography, did an amazing job capturing our big day. Go check her out and if you are looking for someone to photograph your wedding, baby birth, family or business products...she is just the talent I am sure you are looking for. You can also follow her on instagram HERE. We are so grateful! 

We wish all the time that we could go back and relive that day. 
Seeing so many people that have influenced our lives throughout the years, our dearest friends and our sweet families is what made the day so incredible. The details (flowers, band, dancing, food) were all icing on the perfect cake. Hope you enjoy a taste!



-The Reception-




























  
















 Was that an overload? I'm sorry-kinda, I just can't help it! Suzy O Photography caught some of my favorite moments at our reception. I love the faces, dance moves, and reactions in her photos that will always be a treasure. My personal favorite: when Cameron ripped his pants in the middle of droppin' it low. I don't think it was possible for me to narrow these pictures down anymore. I'm smiling ear to ear while constructing this post.

 The Details:

Shaved Ice: North Shore Shaved Ice
Flowers & Reception Design: Holly Fowler of Culinary Crafts
DJ: Bradon Welker
Mother/Planner of the Year: Jacquelin Thayer 
Funding/Best dance of my life: Bryan Thayer
Handsome Groom: the one & only Cameron Ricks 


Even though it was 2 years ago, B I G thanks to my darling family, in-laws, and friends for everything you did to make this, absolutely, the perfect day. We love you forever. xo
