In addition, Christina, Megan, Allison, and the whole team were kind enough to let me stretch my writing skills once again and write an article about the merits of unplugged weddings from the perspective of a photographer.  I am so grateful that the crew of incredible women that put together this publication is dedicated to the vision of more than just trends and the next hot color for bridesmaids' dresses.  They are passionate about marriage, about story, and about the preservation of those things and preserving them beautifully.

I want to say a huge thank you to Lake Bride for believing in me, to Ashley & Josh for trusting me with these images, to Jill Hanson for second shooting for me that day, and to everyone who has sent me photos of them holding this magazine!

In addition to all this fun, Lake Bride is doing their annual Reader's Choice Awards!  So, show your favorite local vendors some love and go VOTE!  And if you were so persuaded to add my name in there, I would be forever grateful.

But most of all, head to a local store and pick up the magazine!  This is a local publication put together by the hardest working, kindest, most encouraging lady bosses you've ever met and supporting them supports the dream we are all working for!
