Jess and I were still dating but we were sure already we were going to marry each other, we were dancing together at a friend’s wedding, and in the middle of one of those conversations where everything around you disappears and all there is left is you and the bright future in front of you.

We didn’t even realize that we were being photographed.

As soon as we saw the picture we just knew we needed to have it. I’ve never felt that way about a photograph and came to realize that it wasn’t the photograph but what it represented.

Now we have this image on our wall, right at the entrance of our home. I feel lucky that I get to see this image every day. As soon as I walk inside. It reminds me of what’s important, why I’m here, and to make sure that when life happens (a bad day at work, horrible traffic, kids crying for no reason, appliances breaking on payday, etc.) that I remember what’s truly important, what was said at that moment. The beginning of our lives together as a future family.

I know my children will treasure this picture.

We now have a the record of a moment that has much more value than the mere paper on which it was printed. I've decided that this was a gift too important for couples not to have.

This is why through my photographic career I’ve strived to make this moment happen for other couples, and I believe that I’m now giving this to other couples. Just check our Testimonials.

I believe every couple should have such a gift.

I know what you might be thinking and the answer is YES… you have seen some of these faces before. Perhaps at this Family Portrait or at this Wedding or this Slide-show.

For this occasion, Aaron was finally in town after 3 tours in Iraq/Afghanistan. It was also Thanksgiving so it couldn’t have been more appropriate to capture the whole family together.

It is easy to say that everybody is proud of Aaron for serving this country so selflessly. One thing I came to learn by knowing this great family is that this is a team effort; it is not just the brave ones fighting but also the brave families left behind supporting them. There are a lot of battles fought daily by these families that never make it to the front page. There is a lot of quiet strength, patience and virtue in the families behind the brave ones on the front lines.

So, once again we are proud to have them as our guests in our blog. I hope you enjoy the pictures:
