June 4th, 2016 was one of my most anticipated days of the year because it was the day that a dear friend of mine was getting married!! It was an early, early morning (we’re talking 4 a.m., people!!) and no lack of sleep could keep us from smiling and laughing! She put on her final bridal details and was ready to head out to a first look with her father, and then with her almost-husband! Seeing them both glowing with happiness made this day all the more special!
After watching Kara and Lamar grow closer in their relationship over the past 4 years, I’ve been learning how truly awesome they are together. She’s known for her personality and her big, big heart. She’s one to always greet you with a smile and a big hug, sacrificing ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to help someone else. Lamar has truly taken the one of the most amazing woman on earth to become his wife. And now they’re Married!!
Kara + Lamar – you guys have been such awesome friends and we couldn’t be more excited for you guys in this new season of life!! (Welcome to the married world:)!!) It has been a complete honor that you put your trust in me to play bridesmaid AND photographer!! We love you guys! Enjoy!!
I LOVE this!!! 
I will NEVER outgrow my love for first looks!!! Especially when a bride does TWO right in a row!! :) 
Aww love this!!!! This is my elementary school friends, and two more couples from this group are getting married this year!!
