I first met Emily when she shadowed me on a shoot. I loved her kind and sweet and down-to-earth self! Later she contacted me about photographing her wedding and I knew I would love being part of her day. Tom is her groom. =) He stands tall and strong and proud just like the police officer he is. It was easy to see he did not take his commitment to Emily lightly. He even took complete responsibility for planning the ceremony. He was giving her his whole heart and I am pretty sure he would do anything for her. Together they are strong. True. Powerful. Beautiful. Surrounded by family and friends whom all seemed to have utmost respect and love for them…they said their vows and promised for always.

Thanks Tom and Emily! It was truly an honor to witness your marriage.You both are beautiful people.

Thanks again to Larry from Weaver Images for being a super-duper second photographer and Tawanda for being my very own fantastic assistant for the day. I could not do this without those around me!

Emily smiled and chatted and laughed her way around the dressing room. The girls hustled and bustled and helped her with the final details.

Emily, Emily…love this photo of pretty you.

Overgrown meadow…one of my favorite spots to shoot.

Love the bridesmaids…I always have so much fun with the girls.

Love this photo by Tawanda. Emily and her father waiting to enter the ceremony.

And this photo by Larry. Proud daddy!

During the ceremony, rain pattered down. But as we went outdoors for the photos, the clouds broke and sweet sunlight poured down.

Another shot by Larry.

Grandma tells a great story! =)
