Mauri + Jonah

Backing up a little bit to my baby sister's wedding! Mauri and Jonah were married on August 9th in the Provo City Center Temple. I tagged along for their bridals (a few weeks before) to get some video of their first look. How dreamy are these photos?!

Mauri was a STUNNING bride. I'll also forever regret not wearing a veil for my wedding.

- The Wedding Day -

Love my sistas!

Still can't get over these bouquets! So dang pretty.

Emmett was a biiig fan of the smores bar.

Everything about the day was beautiful. The sealing, the temple, the reception, the flowers, the colors, the cake, the singing, the send off, and obviously the bride and groom. I didn't take the time to go through all of the wedding photos, so just trust me on this ;) Our mom has got to be the ultimate wedding planner after doing FIVE weddings. She's amazing and deserves a vacation haha.

Welcome to the family Jonah!!

My People

Of all the pictures taken this past year, these ones definitely deserve a spot on the blog. Austin was so kind and took family pictures for us and Shi's fam back in September. We've never had family pictures taken besides a couple snapshots, so I was super grateful. It didn't really go as planned - as I should have expected. It was cold, the kids were hungry, and Brielle was in a mood the entire time. Eight hundred pictures later and we managed to get only two with her smiling. Thankfully Austin worked his magic and captured our family, our stage of life, and our children perfectly. I am so happy to forever have these moments captured with my people.

^^ This was Brielle's face in nearly every photo haha.

That girl was OVER IT.

Thought I'd throw in some behind the scene iphone pics.

Brielle stilllll over it.

That view!! Shoutout to Mauri's wedding photographer for showing us this hidden gem.

An imperfect night with perfect memories. I couldn't love my people more!
