Love and Laughter = The Best Medicine

     She was getting ready with her best friends and family for one of the happiest days of her life. Some shots and PBR may or may not have been involved, but they didn't need it to have a great time together. They already knew the second August 11th, 2012 started that it was going to be unforgettable. They stopped to pose for silly pictures and got all sassy (because those make for the best Facebook profile pics), they talked, laughed and made finishing touches while they waited for their time to begin the ceremony.

Deb & Mike

    Perfect weather and gorgeous sunlight poured through the church's tall windows. The ceremony was short and sweet. Happy laughs and applause rang throughout the audience and bridal party as they sealed the deal with their first kiss as husband and wife. And finally, it was time to love, laugh, and celebrate once more. Even as it started to down pour, not one of them stopped laughing and smiling.

Thank you Deb and Mike for letting me be a part of your special day. And most of all thank you for all the laughs, you guys were a lot of fun! Congratulations and best wishes for the future!





Super Sassy

They were such a FUN bridal party!




This was their cake topper! 





See what I mean? Nothing but laughs :)

The Calm After the Storm

Everything was set up and ready to go. They stood around, made finishing touches, pinned on boutonnieres and made small chat with close family as they waited for their time to go...

Then the clouds rolled in.

It was thundering, lightening and pouring rain. The stress set in.. "what are we going to do?"

In all the chaos, they knew exactly what to do- Adapt. They had to adapt to their situation, they had to adapt to the rain- just as we spend our whole lives doing. We adapt to our surroundings, our jobs, the climate, we adapt to change and most of all we adapt for the people we love.

Once adapted, everything ran smoothly. Everything else went just as planned and in the end, it did not matter that it was raining on their special day, because everyone they loved was there no matter what the circumstance. And it reminded me... love always prevails.... even through our rainiest of days.

Heather and Jenna

Heather and Jenna were married on a hot, humid and a previously sunny saturday in August. Despite the rain that rolled in, friends, family and a few adaptations made for a perfect day. Not to mention, after the storm, there was BEAUTIFUL summer sun and a gorgeous haze from the rain and humidity that made for perfect lighting!

Thank you Heather and Jenna for including me in your special day and most of all thank you for showing all of us that no matter what life throws at you, the people you love will always matter most.

Here's a little sneak peek from the day and that gorgeous lighting I mentioned ;)




This little stud was cracking everyone up! :)





Gorgeous light, right?
