Here is a few images of last weekends wedding. We thought we would share a few of our favorites
to hold you all over while we are here in Las Vegas!
Such a gorgeous couple!!!
The digital age has by far changed the way we view, connect, and interact with the world. It allows so many amazing things to happen. You can reconnect with long distance friends and family. Stay up-to-date on social media outlets and do anything and everything without ever actually having to leave your home (or you can take it with you).
Its really interesting how you can stay up on the latest news on someones life, without them ever telling you personally. However, one thing that we can all agree on is we love the ability to see each others photos. We immediately can view our friends vacation photos, our cousins new baby, and your college roommates wedding photos all online.
With technology moving so fast at rates we can’t afford to keep up with, it is really hard to know where the digital world is going. So is Facebook the one and only outlet you want your friends and family to have access to YOU? I came across something last week on the world wide web and it was a photo of a floppy disk. I am imaging most of you reading this blog, remembers using floppy disks? Did you ever think back then that there could ever be another way to move and transfer your files? Probably not. Then came the CD/DVD. You could move your files the same way, but smaller and more capabilities such as the ability to hold music and more data. Then came the flash/jump drive, where we could even hold more data than before!! In case you haven’t noticed. We don’t use floppy disk or CD’s to transfer date anymore and even USB drives are being outdated by the new USB 3. It will only be a matter of time before we don’t use flash drives anymore, we are already heading in that direction with Dropbox and PASS (which we are currently using to deliver most of your fabulous photos).
So here is a challenging thought? What if this was the only way to view your grandparents wedding Photos?
It would be really hard to look at the their photos. You could only hope they printed a couple photos, otherwise you would never know what they looked like on their wedding day because none of us have a computer that still works from 20 years ago. So my questions to you is, how do you want your children and grandchildren to be able to view your photos? Remember, technology is quickly advancing. Facebook + DVD’s are great to view pictures, but they might not always be around. So the thing we encourage our bride and grooms to best show their fabulous selves and wedding photos is in one of our awesome KISS Wedding books!

Barista: “Would you like a tall, grande, or venti?” Cory: “Make that a grande, americano with cream and 3 raw sugars.” That is the way Cory likes his coffee. Of course he likes coffee almost anyway, yet at the same time he’s very particular; as he ought to be. Coffee plays a very important part in our lives. Because of it, I met Cory.
You see, Cory used to own a coffee shop in Terre Haute, IN just across from Indiana State University, The Coffee Break. He also owned a music venue called Sharky’s that held concerts in the shop. Little did I know that when I ordered coffee from here, I was meeting my future husband. He also allowed the college ministry we were involved in meet for church Sunday nights there. So it was fitting that through his coffee shop and mutual friends that we met, and that our first “unofficial” date took place at Starbucks. (you can ask about the “official” part later) Clearly, coffee was meant to be a staple in our home.
Now, here we are in Las Vegas for Showit United/WPPI (a convention for portrait/wedding photographers). Cory, along with Zach Gray from Zach & Jody are going to be teaching different brewing methods for making coffee, and Zach is going to be showing off his amazing latte art on his sweet espresso machine. So if you are here in Vegas, join the other showiteers for some amazing coffee and lattes and learn from the coffee snobs pros!
Above: That is a picture of Cory’s coffee roaster. He would roast his own coffee beans on Saturdays.
Cory with his friend Aaron. (They both look so different now)
Here is a concert in the back of the coffee shop. I’m pretty sure Sharky’s broke fire code more than a few times!
Here are the times that Cory and Zach are going to teaching their amazing coffee skills and a chance to try some amazing coffee!!! Plus, we are giving away a sweet gift! (hint: It may make the best coffee you’ve ever tasted)
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday

It is the way that Cale looks at Layn. His hand perfectly finds the small of her back and pulls her in close. Layn is naturally beautiful and her smile is soft and welcoming. She laughs and smiles constantly when with Cale. It could be that the reason these two are so perfectly in love and know each other so well, is because they have known each other since High School and have been together through it all. College, establishing their careers, and now starting life- together.
Their wedding took place in the small town of Jasper, Indiana. This is the place they both grew up in. Hopefully this is the town their children will grew up in as well. We are so honored to have been apart of their wedding. Everything was absolutely perfect. The love these two have for each other will no doubt carry them into their old age.
I absolutely love these shoes!! – J
I love Cale’s reaction to seeing Layn for the first time on their wedding day.
Such a sweet private moment they get to share together on their wedding day!
Layn- you have some gorgeous friends!!! -J
Layn + Cale, you two look absolutely amazing!!!!
St. Joseph’s Catholic Church is by far one of the most beautiful churches I have ever been in!
Layn, you look STUNNING!!!! The back of that dress was made for you! – J
The cakes looked amazing and not one detail was out of place!
Seriously, could you two be any cuter!!! -J
Cale + Layn, you are two of the kindest and most beautiful people we have ever met!!! We hope you’re enjoying your time together as newlyweds in the Dominican Republic!!!
Thank you for allowing us be a part of your day! C + J

One of my favorite parts to every wedding reception is the anniversary dance. Not the cheesy part where the DJ makes the first announcement that “all couples married less than 2 hours can leave the dance floor.” I’m talking about the part where everyone has cleared the dance floor and only one couple remains. The song fades out. And there stands a couple gently swaying back and forth. They aren’t aware the music has stopped yet. So there they stand her head gently resting on his shoulder and his weathered hand gently holding hers. They’re thinking back on the 50 + years of marriage. The hard times. The good times. The times when they wanted to give up, but never did. That’s the moment I love.
After the dance the couple usually gives some sort of advice to the newlyweds…Well. We haven’t been married 50 years, or even 5. But we can offer this one piece of advice. Never stop dating each other. Make the time each week to connect and continue pursuing the others heart. We do this now. And we’ll do it until we’re the last couple on the dance floor one day.
And because every post is better with a photo…here’s one of our engagement photos from almost 4 years ago.
