weddings

I love how no two weddings are the same.  Not one.  The personality, the style, the weather :), all of it.  Keeps us from reaching moments of boredom with our role as photographers.  Well, I knew from their engagement session that their wedding was going to have personality written all over it…and, that it did.  Kristen put a lot of thought into the details of their day and did such a lovely job merging all of the colors together. 

There was a lot of sweet emotion the day of their wedding which reminded me again that a wedding day doesn’t just consist of the preparation.  It’s the foundation for the many years to come.  The longer Jeremy and I are married the more I appreciate the fact that a wedding day is just a day.  It’s the days following that truly matter.  Instilling memories into the minds of those you love will continuously hold you accountable for the journey ahead.  The love Kristen and Jim expressed for one another is written all over these photos.  Many memories to cherish forever.  Loads of hugs to you both!

Such a sweet first meeting.  And, don’t get me started on the beauty that is Jim & Kristen! 🙂

Just when I thought I couldn’t have any
more respect for those who serve in the military, I was present at Jim
and Kristen’s wedding.  We all know that being active in the military
can result in leaving the country during unplanned times.  Well, this
was the case for several of Jim’s men…including his Best Man.  After
setting the date and making plans, several were deployed during the time
of their wedding date leaving Jim to find a few others to take their
place.  All I can say is that I am amazed at the camaraderie that was
displayed.  Several stepped up to the plate and the words that were
shared later in the day were humbling for all who heard.  It was truly
an honor to witness it all.

One of the reasons I love photographing
these two (other than the fact that they are beautiful together–had a
hard time narrowing them down 😉 is because of the contagious laughter
that comes from them.  You can’t help but join in with them…love it!
