Allyssa & Conner

I still remember walking into a little church out in Defiance and meeting Allyssa’s beautiful face for the first time. She was coordinating the wedding I was photographing, and before arriving, I already knew I liked her based on our e-mail communication. She blew me away that day with her crazy effectiveness, ability to make anything happen, and incredible communication and kindness. I’m always recommending her (selfishly because she makes my job so much easier LOL!) But fast forward a couple of years, Allyssa and Conner entrusted me with the honor of capturing their day. And when I get done bragging about them, you’ll get to look through the pics ;)

These two have been through long distance and all kinds of life in between, and it’s beautiful to see the way they love each other. Allyssa posted their story to her blog (here), and I love what they wrote about knowing that the other was the one. Hope you don’t mind me borrowing this, Allyssa!

Allyssa: I knew just a few months into dating him. I was at home talking to my mom about him, just doing my laundry, when I realized I already knew I wanted to spend forever with him.

Conner:I knew on a trip visiting her at Truman. She loves breakfast food and will eat it any time of the day. So we were making pancakes and I wanted to experiment by putting Swedish fish in the pancakes. She let me. And that’s when I knew.

This. This just perfectly sums these two up and the balance that they bring to one another. I could go on and on about how kind they are, how easily they laugh, how they radiate Jesus, and how they love the people in their lives so well and loyally. And when I say on and on, I mean another page or two at least. But I’m too eager to share and I know you’re eager to see, so with no further ado — Conner and Allyssa <3 Thanks for letting me tell your story, you two. Love you guys!
