I got an email in the spring about a wedding in September. Chelsea wrote to me like she knew me – but I wasn’t making the connection with just a name!

When I got to Herman & Luther’s on their wedding day – Chelsea’s mom was outside – and was SO excited to see me. And I couldn’t hide it anymore – how DID I know her?

I took her son’s wedding photos SEVEN years ago! NOW I remembered who the bride was!

A STONE BARN? SIGN ME UP!!

GORGEOUS DETAILS!!

You know what I love? EVERYTHING ALL IN ONE PLACE! A venue for getting ready – a BEAUTIFUL venue for getting ready AND getting married AND having the party!

And bridesmaids that wear your fiance’s face on her shirt!

AND GIGANTIC MIRRORS!!

AND bridal parties that treat you like a long-lost dear friend.

Brides that aren’t afraid to SMILE – I love that too!

I brought an assistant with me – a student from NCA – so he spent the afternoon with the guys! I’ll show you his shots later!

Those last two shots – some of my FAVORITES!

Getting ready photos – some of my favorite moments!

A great maid of honor – fantastic bridesmaids – the icing on a PERFECT wedding day!

Again – I have a problem with TOO MANY pictures – so stay tuned for the next THREE installments!
