My sister’s wedding! I was the Matron of Honor – wedding planner – photographer – all around WE NEED THIS girl!
I tend to take on too many things – I am a firm believer in “if you want it done right – DO IT YOURSELF”.
Friday night was the rehearsal and the intended evening to decorate – but it rained and blew all night – we stood out in the sprinkling for the rehearsal really quick and then gathered back inside for burgers and dogs!
Samm has THE WORST LUCK on the face of the planet – and she KNEW it was going to rain on her wedding day – I kept telling her it was going to be PERFECT!
We woke up Saturday morning to misty, foggy, chilly weather – but NO RAIN!
All day we prayed that God would keep us in a snow globe – NO RAIN – we didn’t have much sunshine – but I like shooting on cloudy days!
The wedding was gorgeous – I am STILL exhausted – and I can’t wait for her TRASH THE DRESS in NYC later in October!

Amanda – one of Samm’s friends at work is on the far L then our cousin Heather – Samm – me – Heather’s mom LuAnn and Luann’s youngest daughter Vanessa!
Samm was really nervous about her bouquet – we weren’t sure if the explanation we gave to the florist would come out the way she wanted – but it turned out so BEAUTIFUL!
