Dana and Chris in Philadelphia (Engagement)

I'm not sure that I've ever had so much trouble writing a blurb for a blog.  There's so much I could say about this couple, but I am afraid that if I write it all, you'll still be reading this tomorrow morning.

Dana came into my life as a young, fiery red-headed girl in youth group when I was just getting my feet wet as a leader.  She somehow became the first student to confide in me, trust me and want to hear what I had to say because she thought I had something to offer her (even if it wasn't very much).  I can't remember how or when we clicked, but I do remember that she was "my girl" and I became hers.  Over the years I've watched her face the good stuff and bad with that same fiery spirit and trust in the Lord that she had when she first marched her way into the Upper Room, and now, seeing her prepare to be a bride, I couldn't be more proud of the vibrant, (still) fiery, comical, sincere, tender-hearted, passionate young woman that she has become. 

And we certainly can't forget about her "boothang".  He's kind, super sweet, a strong leader, devoted Christ-follower and completely in love with his woman!  I don't think it will take too long to recognize "that look" beaming right out of his eyeballs.  As they prepare to join in marriage on Valentine's Day, I can't wait to see God's plan unfold in their life as one.

Please enjoy a few of my favorite morning snuggles and silly giggles from their sunrise session on Sunday! 

"So, we should commit to tickling for five seconds too, right?!"

Dang girl.

Meredith and Rob in Wayne (Engagement)

As this week kicks off our wedding week celebration, what better way than to showcase the love between these two!

In all honesty, it was impossible to not feel completely overcome with joy by being around Meredith and Rob.  They were ADORABLE.  Both of them!  Now again, I'll be completely honest.  Normally, I find myself catering a bit more to making the men of Aaren Lee Photography feel comfortable, but not this guy.  Rob was a total goof- full of laughter and love for his woman from the second I lifted my lens in their direction.  Meredith too!  What a blast it was to follow them around for a few hours with my camera.  And in just a few short weeks, I'll be able to do it AGAIN!  Yes please!

I hope you enjoy a few of my favorites from their charming excursions in Wayne.

Favorite.

An elephant bracelet?!  Be still my heart.

And then there's always that ring….WHOA.

Adorable.

So. Much. Fun.

Isis and Jeremy in Downingtown (Wedding)

Isis and Jeremy are two of the sweetest people I think I’ve ever met.  

When I first met them in Starbucks in the beginning of the year, I fell in love with them!  I pray before and after each client meeting- that if I’m supposed to work with them, that we would have an instant connection.  Well, to be quite honest, I prayed a little extra that they would like me as much as I liked them!  And the rest is history.

Their wedding day was so special. Truly. From tearful first looks with Isis’s father, and with Jeremy, to the reminders of Isis’s mother in so many intentional details throughout the day- this day is something that I will treasure for years to come. On top of that, the venue was absolutely GORGEOUS and 100% them, right down to the goats on the farm and a bunch of playful ducks providing live entertainment as they dive-bombed into the pond outside of the bridal suite.  

Isis and Jeremy- thank you for being you. I pray nothing but the richest blessings over your marriage.  It has been my privilege to know you and to be invited to come along in your journey.  

I could go on and on, but without further delay, please allow me to introduce to you Mr. and Mrs. Taylor!
