I told part of the story about how Julie was the first person I talked to about Eric, my husband, when I first “met” him on Facebook over 4 years ago. She was there when I finally met him in person. She was there when I decided to “accept” his offer to court me. Julie is special to me and holds a very dear spot in my heart. It was such a honor for Julie to ask me to document her love story with John Mark this December. I had an amazing time capturing their day and enjoyed seeing all my old college cheerleading buddies!

This segment of Julie & John Mark’s wedding only the first half… just up until the reception (which will be posted tomorrow, so come back)! I’m so proud of Julie for marrying a man that loves her like she deserves. John Mark is a wonderful man and a great compliment to my sweet and wonderful friend. I pray that they have a magical marriage, full of life and blessings. Thank you again John Mark & Julie for asking me to create everlasting memories of your big day! I love you guys!

I’m accustomed to being given a hard time while shooting the portraits. Guys are usually a hoot and give me a hard time and these guys lived up to the expectations. Even though they were “too cool” for pictures, I think these turned out pretty good!

The girls were full of laughter all day. I LOVE catching laughter!

I think Julie’s mom’s face is priceless! This is just when she saw Julie in her dress!

My favorite part of the ceremony!

Look how happy they are!

This is my favorite part after the ceremony… when they are first alone as a married couple!

The girls were hilarious!

They happy couple…

Remember, tune back in tomorrow for Part II, which inlcudes a dancing entrance!
