I met Katie one afternoon when she came along with Micah and me for a bridal shoot. Micah and Katie are very close friends, so naturally (because Micah and I are practically sisters), Katie and I get along great. Micah, Katie, and I sat in my car until the late hours of the night talking about the joys and struggles of love and marriage. It was such an amazing heart to heart talk and I have no idea if either of the girls remember some of the things that we talked about, but I hold it closely to my heart. I thank God for real women who are strong in their faith and open in their strengths and weaknesses in order to encourage one another. These two girls are women of faith and I’m so glad I get to be their friend!

I’ve never seen a bride and groom SO anxious to get to their honeymoon. These two were excited about the wedding, but the honeymoon was the ultimate destination! Hey, I can’t blame them! I had such a great time documenting their day as it unfolded and I think they will be pleased with the outcome! So Casey and Katie, thank you so much for letting me be a part of your day! I hope to get to know you both more and more as the years go by! Blessings to you both and your marriage!!

She has purple in her ring! Is that cool, or what?

The handsome groom!

And all of his ‘men.

Cheers to a few guys who will let me do what I want with them for a few pictures!

The beauties! Micah (my friend and photography buddy) is the Matron of Honor to the bride’s left.

Now it’s the girls turn for a little fun!

Isn’t she amazingly beautiful?

I love how lit up and giggly she was all day! Such a sweet smile!

I LOVE this moment. Katie’s grandparents came to say hello before the ceremony started. Her grandpa wanted to smell the flowers and as he leaned down for a sniff, Katie let him know that the flowers were fake! So funny and sweet.

Don’t you love a couple of cutie ring bearers?

Such excitement in their eyes!

This is right before the kiss! I love the anticipation!

A private moment right after the wedding.

Isn’t that a studly wedding party?

Married!

OooOo, I love this, too. Casey was so excited because he hadn’t seen his new wife’s bridal pictures yet. Can’t you just see how much he thinks the world of her? LOVE THIS!! Makes me smile every time.

I hope you guys had a wonderful time on your honeymoon!

A quick pictures with me, Casey, Katie, and Micah.
