WEDDING | Philip & Kristen - a winter holiday wedding celebration in Lynchburg

Kristen and I lived on the same residence hall during the Liberty University 2007-2008 school year when I was a Resident Assistant.  Following that year, I moved off campus and got married.  Kristen went on to finish her college career and even moved to Pittsburgh for a while.  I started seeing this guy, Philip, popping up in pictures on Kristen's Facebook page more and more often!  I was just waiting to hear the big news and it finally came - Philip and Kristen were engaged! 

I was so excited when the invitation came!  It was a chilly December 29th that found Kristen walking down the aisle to marry Philip.  They pledged themselves to one another and enjoyed the company of their friends and family.  I had a great opportunity to reconnect with some college friends and had a great time in the process!  I was honored to be a guest on their special day.  They had a wonderful photographer, Sarah Nyugen of Sarah Nicole Photography!  You should keep an eye on her page for updates!  I just wanted to share some of their beautiful day that I captured as a guest on their day!

SENIORS | John, Class of 2013

One August four years ago, John traveled from Connecticut with his family to start his freshman year at Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA.  I remember because John was one of the first students to attend from Groton Bible Chapel (the church my family attended while I was in college.)  Several other attendees have followed and have maintained their friendships here at college.  In fact, I had the opportunity to photograph this group before they attended Liberty University's Junior Senior banquet this year.  Check out their pictures on my Facebook page!  It's been wonderful to watch them grow in Christ over the last four years as they pursue their educations.

John is an aviation major and in just three short weeks, he will walk across a stage at Liberty University and receive his Bachelor's degree.  In November, I photographed John and his girlfriend Bridget for my portfolio and also individually for senior portrait sessions (You can see Bridget's here!).  He was a pleasure to work with and I hope you enjoy this session!

So, here's to John, his hard work, and the achievements of the Class of 2013!  Congratulations on your graduation!

SENIORS | Bridget, Class of 2013

About six months ago, I had the opportunity to photograph this blonde haired beauty and her boyfriend in downtown Lynchburg to work on my posing with couples.   Since both she and John are graduating college seniors this year I took some senior portraits of them in trade!   

Please allow me to introduce you all to - Bridget!   Bridget hails from Vermont originally (I do love my fellow New Englanders!).  She's also a senior in the Nursing program at Liberty University.  Being accepted into the nursing program is tough enough, it's a very selective program.  But being an LU nursing student means 4 years of hard studying and determination!  This girl has finished her college race well! 

It's hard to believe that we took theses pictures in November (which seems a lifetime ago!) and now Commencement is just a mere four weeks away! The Lord has big plans for Bridget and will do great things through her and her chosen profession!

Congratulations to Bridget and the rest of the Liberty University Class of 2013!
