Baby Alivia has turned 1. YAY! It has been such a pleasure watching her grow and capturing her 1st Year. Most of all her facial expressions, lol. I love how we were all excited to see her dive into the cake, but as always Livy had different plans and decided that wasn’t for her. Silly Livy. However, we did get a few family shots with both kids and parents smiling and looking great!

{johanna + jason | wedding | st. margaret mary church}

Johanna and Jason were married on August 28, 2010. They had their beautiful ceremony at St. Margaret Mary Church and the reception to follow at Double Tree Hotel. J+J are High School Sweethearts, and if I have the story correct their first date was prom, how cute is that!

J+J engagement story includes a tale about swards and her walking through a sward arch to find Jason on the other side, down on one knee. I love that they were able to incorporate the sward arch on the wedding day.

Johanna and Jason are a wonderful couple and we wish you both the best in your new adventures.
