I can’t remember how long ago it was when I first met Kelly, but I DO remember that I loved her instantly.  She was easy to talk with and she didn’t mind being around my screaming baby!  Thanks to facebook, I have kept in contact with her live via status updates and was thrilled beyond belief to learn she had gotten engaged.  Then I prayed she would call me to photograph the wedding ;)

Here we are a few months later, looking forward to their September wedding.  I didn’t get a chance to meet Aaron until the morning of their engagement session…all Kelly had told me is he’s a military man…and you will LOVE him.  She was right!  Aaron was just as excited for their session as Kelly was (and he told me so many times)!  And what I love most about Aaron, honestly, is the way he loves Kelly.  Every woman would consider herself lucky to be cherished the way Kelly is by Aaron.  And anyone who knows Kelly can plainly see she feels exactly the same way about him.

My favorite part of the day was when Kelly told me the story of how she and Aaron met…and how he proposed.  Kelly works in a dental office and one day, Aaron walked in to the office for a visit.  To say he was smitten would be an understatement ;)  He kept asking her out, and Kelly would politely decline.  Eventually, she caved and they’ve been together ever since.  On the day Aaron asked Kelly to become his wife, he surprised Kelly by returning to the office where they met…and whisked her off her feet to a whirlwind celebratory weekend in Chicago!  Aaron, you should probably know you’re making all the girls swoon and simultaneously raising the bar for all the other boyfriends out there!

My favorite of the day below :)

Our last stop for the day was a stop at the Air Force base where Aaron works.

Kelly and Aaron, I am absolutely honored and thrilled to be a part of your wedding!  To say I’m looking forward to our next adventure would be an understatement!!!!
