John & Hilary's Wedding

What a great day. All week they kept calling for rain, but God gave us a absolutely beautiful day.

Hilary was amazingly calm until she heard me mention to my wife that it was 1:30. The wedding was at 2. She got just a little nervous then calmed right down again. I have never seen so many people in a house before a wedding, there had to be close to 30 people there. Everyone was working on last minute plans. The Hilary's mom was making sure everyone was getting dressed and tying the rings on the pillow. John's mom was making some finishing touches on some of the deserts.

The bridal party had to cross a driveway, up about five steps, and then down a landscaped path to the gazebo. A gorgeous setting. Hilary's father is a minister, so he walked he "down the isle" and then turned to start the ceremony. Everything was going well until a car alarm went off. Without skipping a beat he continued "on that note".

John and Hilary met while country dancing. Of course, there was plenty of dancing. And what great dancers they are. After the cake was cut, John and Hilary changed into their dancing clothes and really got going. A lot of their dancing friends were there to help them celebrate.
Near the end of the evening, a sing along started in the living room. This isn't what you think. Hilary is an accomplished musician and some of her friends are trained vocalists. We were treated to an amazing concert.

This was a wonderful day. I'm so glad I was able to capture it for them. I pray that God will bless this new marriage.

Bryan and Dennae

This past Saturday I had a great time with Bryan and Dennae. I chose historic Pitman as the backdrop for their shoot. I love small town America. This little town is actually where I grew up and it has so much character. I like to walk around and take a few minutes in several spots, the problem was it was 9000% humidity that day. So we cut down on the locations and drove to everything.

Bryan and Dennae were so easy going. It was great to work with them. I can't wait for their wedding in November.
