Andy & Jennifer’s Wedding… {Oklahoma City Wedding Photographer}

I really love Oklahoma.  I love raising my family here.  I love getting to work here.

And although I really love our weather men here in this great state, I don’t necessarily love our weather.

Andy and Jennifer know all about this.  They both work at a local news station where they help make sure the rest of us are safe in our little houses when there is terrible weather outside.  When they began planning their wedding last year, however, they had no idea that their work would meet them at their wedding.  Their wedding day was one of a two-day spree of bad weather here in our great state.  I’m not quoting any facts, but it sure seemed that we were stuck right in the middle of a wind tunnel hosting 75 mph winds.  Luckily for us, though, no bad weather even came close…but none the less, it made for a very fun and different evening.  Here’s to indoor wedding pictures with memories to last a lifetime.

Aimee & Joseph’s Engagements (Oklahoma City Engagement Photographer}

I can honestly say I have not met many couples that have this much fun together.

This couple makes me feel like I’m right at home…even when we are downtown and people are spying on their engagement session.  They have this spirit around them that makes everyone feel comfortable.  It must just draw people in.  And they just belong together.  You can tell the love they have comes flows the inside out.

Josh and I had an absolute blast getting to spend the afternoon with you guys.  Have a great summer, and I can’t WAIT to see you guys in August.

And Joseph…I hope you kicked bootie at the marathon on Sunday and continue to do so through all your meets in May!

The ballerina meets the marathoner.

This, by the way, is the bridge where Joseph proposed.  Magic.

James & Rachel {Oklahoma City Family Portrait Photographer}

Two years ago, I made the trek to the amazingly hot Altus, OK to photograph the wedding of a very dear friend of mine.  Rachel and her family have been a part of my family since I was in high school – spending my weekends at D-Nows.  Her mom and dad have been a huge part of my life from my teen years through adulthood.  She was the woman I always wanted to be as a youth pastor’s wife and he was the man who taught me to fly fish.  Each of their family, which now includes the amazing James, pops in and out of my life here and there…and we pretend that we are the oldest and best of friends.  I always look forward to seeing James and Rachel and hearing about how their lives are amazingly wonderful and blessed.  I feel blessed just to have been a part of theirs.

Kaylee & Caleb’s Engagements {Oklahoma City Engagement Photographer}

Some engagement sessions feel too short…like you just want to continue to eat up their lovie-dovie-ness….if that’s even a word.  And you just know.  You just know they will be blessed and happy and healthy.  You know their happily ever after is happening right before your eyes….and YOU are just lucky to get to be a part of it.  Like watching Cinderella and her handsome prince, you know that they will love each other without fail, without question.  Their strength comes from something that can only be explained if you have experienced it before…and it is a light that leads through even the darkest darkness.  And they will be together…because there is no place better to be.

Happy engagement, Kaylee & Caleb.  I cannot wait until July.

LOVE this session. The second to last from the bottom is my fav! Her red hair is just fantastic. Great shots Mir!

Chandy & Jonathan…

Chandy and Jonathan are the type couple that is just comfortable from the beginning.  We had never met before I took their engagement pictures, but even from the start of the session, they were at ease and just lovely.

I love a bride who is comfortable enough with me to ask my opinion on her outfit and her accessories.  Chandy came fit to dress like a queen, and, honestly, was as beautiful as one.  When it was all over, and I began editing these photos, I felt like they were taken in some enchanted place in Europe…which I think is very fitting for Chandy and Jonathan.  They just look like they belong in some magical place where love rules and they are the king and queen.  So cheers to lovely couples and magical lands of mystery and love.
