Haleen and Josh are one of the sweetest couples that I’ve been blessed to work with. I’ve been lucky enough to book lots of clients who make me feel like part of the family. But this is one of the first times that I have felt so welcome and part of the family on both the brides and grooms side equally as much. Haleen and Josh have such AMAZING families that it’s hard to tell where one family ends and one begins. They have both been blessed with large families… Haleen has  3 sisters and 1 brother. Josh has 3 sisters and 2 brothers. I can’t say enough about just how wonderful both of their families are. Everything about the wedding day represented them, their relationship and how it all began. Haleen and Josh are going to have an amazing marriage. They are one of those couples who after only a few moments with them, you can tell they are truly meant for one another. I am SOO thankful to have been able to work with them.. and I look forward to working with them in the future. :) Haleen and Josh.. congratulations!!! I am SO happy and excited for you both!!! :)

Haleen’s mom owns a day care and they are ALL about the kids. The 3 flower girls and the 1 ring bearer were actually kids from their daycare. :) Tiffany and I were both prepared to take them home with us. :)

I think all of the bridesmaids cried at one point or another during the ceremony. :)

LUCKILY I knew before the ceremony that one of the most important things to Haleen was getting shots of the kids. But she actually wanted to get the crazy shots of them being themselves (which I LOVE) so this made my job a little easier considering that this picture below… is what the majority of these shots looked like. You might notice that we are actually missing one of the flower girls. At any given moment on of the kids were laughing, crying, jumping, wandering, etc… so getting a picture of Josh, Haleen and the kids took (I kid you not..) about 15-20 minutes minimum. When we finally got all 4 kids sitting and smiling (not all looking toward the camera.. but smiling none the less) EVERYONE in the chapel started clapping and cheering… the kids were excited. ;) We took a TON of these… in some the kids are crying… or running away… or evening upside down on the stairs at one point I think.. haha.. BUT that’s real life. ;)

Haleen and her brother. :)

Haleen danced with her brother, who walked her down the isle. :) During their dance, a slideshow was played that their mother put together of pictures of them together as they’ve grown up.

Haleen’s adorable sister again, showing off Baby Lilli!! ;)
