Hey yall!! I’m looooving this summer and I surely hope you are too. One of my favorite things I’ve happened to do this season is hang out with one of my dearest friends Anna @ her sister’s wedding… and shoot a few photos as well. Ya see, Anna was the maid of honor [and also the photographer] and asked if I’d be there to shoot when she wanted to take a step out of the photographer role and just be a sister. I was SO thankful she asked! We had such a blast with Anna and her family.. they were just as great as she always is! I ran through the images to pick out a few of my favorites and wanted to share them with you guys [all 5 of you]. Enjoy!!

happy anniversary to the greatest man on the planet.. i couldn’t live this life without you… and wouldn’t ever want to try.. 5 years is a pretty cool number but I can’t wait to say 30!

[we're just a couple of bookends.. ]

I’ve been looking forward to shooting this session since December! That’s when I shot the awesome and beautiful wedding of Tiffany and Evan. Every minute I spend with these two is a memorable one. The older I get the more I realize how important it is to have good, solid, positive folks in your life. These are two of the best. These two are so kind, so genuine and full of life.. I’m thankful to call them friends. You would be lucky to know them too.

Sooooo thankful Amy + Josh were up for a day after session [well a week after] at Hunter Valley Farms! Perfect sun, perfect weather, perfect couple… equals… awesome.

If anyone is interested in throwing their dress back on + renting a suit/borrowing a suit for your guy I love shooting day after sessions [decade after/year after]! Send an email to lori@lorihensley.com if you’d like more info!!

I’m thrilled to finally be posting this wedding! It took about twice as long with twice as many images as usual.. but everyone one of them were worth the time. I loved this wedding. So much thought went into it.. so much love.. so creative and the BEST part is it was so MUCH fun!! I love weddings all together [i guess it's why i just LOVE what i do] but this is a wedding I wish I could live all over again as a guest as well.
