Our dear friends Natalie and Eric welcomed their second child to the world early last week. Unfortunately we weren’t able to make it over during daylight, but I was able to get a few cute shots I wanted to share. Aiden’s older sister Ava is stinking adorable. She’s getting used to being photographed, while Aiden is still confused by the camera clicks.

Surrounded by wonderful supportive women Nicci got ready for the big day she had been waiting for. The last two years have been full of planning weddings for the women of her family as her sister got married just 7 months ago. The whole day you could just see the excitement Nicci had to be married to Kevin. As far as groomsmen set ups I’ve seen, these guys had it made. They were hanging out it the youth loft, complete with a Wii on an overhead projector. Saturday was just beautiful with blue skies and sunshine, deceiving for how cold it was. Right as the sun was setting Nicci and Kevin said their vows in front of family in friends in the chapel of their church home. After the ceremony the celebration began at the Palomino ballroom where it was decorated by winter branches in the glow of candlelight. Several sweet toasts were shared and dances danced as the newlyweds enjoyed the company of so many that were important to them. Nicci and Kevin are such a sweet, faithful and light-hearted couple. It was a joy to witness their union as man and wife. All the best to the newlyweds!
