The Moment When.. Lillard Wedding

That moment when... You realize, you haven't blogged a single 2013 wedding, or even half of the weddings from 2012. 
It is honesty hour, and although I do enjoy writing (I write in a journal daily) it seems to always fall wayside when it comes to blogging. 

Of course a New Years means New Year resolutions, but I don't want to think of this as a resolution. More so, better business running, and keeping myself accountable. 

If you don't already, I invite you to "LIKE" or simply Save my Facebook page (view the tab in the column to the right). I have posted every single wedding there. I am excellent at keeping up on there, and with my actual clients themselves (haha), but the Blog... well, I just haven't found that sweet yearning to just Blog all the time. 

I am a Doer, I like to be busy and have a precise schedule. I love to do lists... I feel like because I spend so much time editing, I am constantly in a magnetic pull away from my computer. This is what I will BLAME my lack of blogging on- as soon as I am done editing, it is off to Yoga, or the great outdoors with Kenya, or the stable. A girl needs to breath and have time away from the computer, and being a busy photographer means spending at least 5 hours a day starring at a screen. 
That alone makes me shiver. 

Alas, I will repeat this post, as I quickly post a few images from numerous weddings in  2013... 

Enjoy. 

Lillard Wedding

I remember meeting Kelsey and Kody freshman year of college.
 They had been together for years already, and I always so amazed how fluid their relationship was. It wasn't one of those up and down, hot cold, things.. and if it was/when it was, they each were so mature that they would never show that to the world. One thing I knew, was of course, they were going to get married.. Kelsey and I went to UCO on the same Leadership Scholarship. As the years went by, I was always taken aback by her maturity and kind heart. 
She was always so dedicated to her health and running, to her school work, to being kind to others, and to overall being one of the most genuine Woman of God. 
She is so passionate about her priorities, and let me tell you- this Woman has her priorities s.t.r.a.i.g.h.t. 
She is so beautiful inside and out, and  there isn't anyone in this world that is more perfect for her than Kody. 

I also knew very well, that Kelsey is a very type A perfectionist. Because of that alone, I wasn't even worried about the idea of photographing her engagements, bridals, or her wedding. So when she inquired, not only was I shocked (typical photographer never completely happy with my work) but I was almost a bit nervous. 
It had to be perfect. 
Every image. Every moment. 
I couldn't lose a single thing. I had to get it all. 

Being traditional, conservative, and a most honorable couple- I didn't expect them to do a first look. When they did, I will never forget that look in Kody's eye. Thanking God for his bride, his wife, his best friend. 

Here are a few selections from their day:
