I can’t even really find the words to say how amazingly special this wedding was to me. It was an honor to be there and experience such a wonderful day in their lives. I am so ecstatic for them and I can’t wait to finish editing all the photos I took. Here are a few I couldn’t wait to show off…
We had ridiculous amounts of fun today. Well, technically yesterday. I really wanted to throw up a quick preview for them tonight. More to come from this soon, sooooo excited for their wedding in July 
These were my digitals from my tag along shoot with Kristen Marie downtown.
I am going to run a marathon.
I wanted to run a marathon because It’s something something I never thought I’d do. Before beginning training I’d never run more then a mile in my entire life. I want to be healthy and I want to make sure I’m living my life to the fullest.
There were people in my life that never had a chance to run a marathon and I want to do it for them. In my sophomore year of college I had two friends from High School die in a car accident. It was incredibly shocking and sudden. Two weeks later I lost a very special family friend, William Heaton to leukemia. He was seven years old. There is not a day I don’t think of him. A few weeks after that I lost another friend, Keely Rose, to cancer just before her 19th birthday. Her mom and I got very close, sitting in the ICU with her. We were both holding her hands as she took her last breath. In that moment everything I thought I knew about the world changed.
Both my Grandmother and my Mother SURVIVED cancer, so compared to what they went through 26.2 miles is nothing.
So I’m going to run a marathon. For Jeff and Kyle. For Will. For Keely. For my Grandma. For my Mom. And for me.
Keep me accountable. If you’d like to go for a run sometime, let me know. I’m still pretty slow.

This shoot is over a year old, I just never blogged it… and they are too cute not to blog! Elysha and Peter got married this past summer but before I left for Seattle I was able to take some engagement photos of them in San Luis Obispo. So enjoy.
