Shellie + Francisco -- Part 3

These are the pictures we've all been waiting for. A lady in Shellie's church was kind enough to let us take photos on her beautiful property. They have the prettiest woods and a gorgeous view of Mt. Rainier... which we couldn't see because of the clouds.

Shellie and Francisco were the most adorable couple, whispering and giggling to each other between shots and just being the cutest newlyweds ever. It made my heart so happy to see them so in love. I'm probably posting way too many of these, but I couldn't choose between them.

And here is your family picture, Shellie!

We stopped at Wally's White River Drive-in to grab a burger on the way from the church because we were all staaaarving (except the lovebirds who were full on love). We bumped into one of the wedding attendees who generously paid for our lunch! You know the nicest people, Shellie. The waitress also turned the radio to corny love songs and it was the sweetest. 

We just had so much fun shooting Shellie and Francisco's wedding. We were all cracking each other up the whole time. What with Forrest's silly antics and all of the awkward poses I made them do (not posted ;)), it's a wonder we got any serious shots.

Thank you again, Shellie and Francisco! It was a great and wonderful experience. The next time you guys get married, let me know and I'll be there, camera ready.

P.S. Part 1 and Part 2

Three!

Today is our third anniversary!

I feel like I have been telling people we've been married for three years for a really long time, but I guess that's just because I've been meeting a lot of new people lately.

Three years feels like such a short amount of time now that we've reached it. It felt like a pretty long amount of time when our marriage was only months old, but I guess that's how it goes?

Three years feels like a respectable amount of time where people don't consider us newlyweds anymore, but we are still that nice, young couple. I don't know, It feels like some sort of milestone. And I guess it is! Three is definitely more impressive than two.



I love being married to you, Forrest. You are the kindest and most considerate man I have ever met. People are always surprised to hear that I'm married (because I look so young, ha) and when they ask if I like it (which is sort of a silly question) I obviously don't have to think for even a second. Being married to you is the best. Thank you for being so supportive and loving always, no matter what. Being your wife is an honor and I love being able to look at your sweet, dimpled smile every single day. You're always ready for any silly adventure I can think up and you pull some pretty silly ones out of your sleeve yourself. You were made for me and I for you. Thanks for always driving more than I do on long trips and for letting me take naps in the car even though I don't let you because I talk to you so much (also I feel like maybe you think you might die if you fall asleep while I'm driving?). Thanks for always being sillier than I am in public so that I don't feel too silly by myself. Thank you for not yelling at me when I do something really clumsy and feel bad enough and then you make me feel better instead. Thank you for always getting the drink I want when we're sharing. Thanks for always posing for pictures when I ask you to. Thanks for all the tiny little things you do that add up and make me feel like a million bucks.

I love you, Fofo, I can't wait to see how our life turns out together. I'm sure it will be better than I ever expected my life to be; it sure has been so far.
