ur engagement was an absolute fairytale that I never could have dreamed would happen to me! 

Maddie & Nick met 10 years ago and have endured a long distance relationship for a large portion of their relationship so when it finally came time to signing the marriage certificate, Maddie was giddy with excitement, perhaps more so than any other time throughout the day. She was finally, officially married to the man that she once thought was far too good looking to ever notice her. A crazy notion considering Nick could not keep his eyes nor his hands off her from the moment they found each other at 2.30pm last Wednesday.

We found each other in a small bar on a Thursday night. It was love at first sight. He told his friends that night that he was going to marry me. I laughed and thought it was the alcohol talking, but here we are getting married in a short 6 months after being together for two years. We are so excited for our future together and the love we have for each other. 

John’s family owns a lot of land on a butte in Oregon. The clouds were looking awesome that day, though we were a little nervous because all the way around us, it was snowing or raining pretty heavily. We had the perfect window of time for sun on this day! The session started out bright and cheery, but ended a little bit moody while drinking a beer and frolicking with the cows.

I was on my way home from work and he had asked if I could help him in the barn. Thinking he needed help braiding his horses mane. I went in the barn to find our horses tied and no Riley. When I got looking, there was a note on the tack room door…

Joe and Martina decided to celebrate their 10 year anniversary with an anniversary session and we’re in love! Hang on till the end to see how they ended this fun session!

On Father’s Day of 2020 Ruben asked her to marry him in their home in front of both of their families. It was the easiest question she ever had to answer! They spent the next year planning their perfect western wedding. They got married September 18th 2021 at the Kitalou Gin in Lubbock Texas. Now they are both just enjoying their time together with their two dogs, and they can’t wait to start a family together!

We took a hike with all of our siblings in our hometown of Prescott, AZ. Once we reached the top, sunset had just hit. We were all watching it set and taking photos in awe. Sure enough, I turn around and all the cameras were on us as he got down on one knee. Both of us smiling ear to ear, tears running down my face, I was shaking of excitement as he placed the ring on my finger. It was a special moment that we got to celebrate with some of our closest circle. This is a time of life that we will never forget!”

After many dirt road dances, snow cone and ice cream dates, and ranch rodeos, the two got engaged on a Kansas Flint Hill gravel road after dancing to the famed Randy Travis song. The two were married five months later in a beautiful, Jesus-centered union in the presence of family and close friends.

The best part of being with someone who shares the same western lifestyle, is that they push you to be better. Naturally I am a shy and quite person. Every day Ben pushes me out of my comfort zone and makes me challenge myself to be better. I would not be where I am today if it wasn’t for him and his support. I am so blessed to be able to live my dream life with my best friend.
