Mitsuko and Michael February 22, 2009

Mitsuko and Michael had a beautiful wedding at the Ritz Carlton coordinated by Kathy Jo Peterson. Square Root Designs did an AMAZING job as you can see, and the bride and groom were so much fun to work with. They are such a gorgeous couple, and you can really tell how in love they truly are. It was so funny to find out that I actually just moved right across the street from them! What a small world!


This was one of the cutest flower girls I have ever seen! She was so sweet, I just couldn't stop taking pictures of her!


Mitsuko's "something old"...

Mitsuko was such a beautiful bride, I knew we were going to have a great portrait day when I first saw her. She looks stunning...








The engagement portrait...

Thanks so much for an amazing day!

Happy Valentine's Day!

My sister brought over this huge balloon on Valentines day this year as a gift to her husband from her kids Jackson and Kyle. They were so excited about their balloon, we had to get some cool shots of them flying away with it for Valentines. Unfortunately it didnt make it home to their daddy, and popped before the shoot was done! At least we got these great shots! Her is Maddy flying away with her cousins Jackson and Kyle...
