From the moment I met them, I absolutely adored them. Their soft personalities, kind hearts, and genuine smiles have a way of lighting up every room they walk into. I had actually heard about Kyler for years while working as a therapist alongside his mom many years ago.

Parker and Paige were married on Memorial Day at the beautiful Union 12, surrounded by sunshine, blue skies, and the most perfect spring weather.

We stepped outside for portraits determined to brave the cold, but with 0-degree temperatures working against us, it didn’t take long to realize it just wasn’t in our favor. Our fingers went from numb… to straight on fire in a matter of minutes. As much as I love a snowy winter backdrop, sometimes the best decision is knowing when to pivot. So we did.
