So lovely my friends are. Creative, considerate, spiritual, intentional. Their wedding was beautiful and meaningful and sweet and gorgeous. But before we got to that we got to relax a bit the night before at the rehearsal dinner. Those are always so fun…so full of nervous anticipation and excited reunions.  The events were totally different…the wedding a country affair replete with square dancing vs the rehearsal which was an old time ballroom with a party dj but they totally complemented each other!

The stars aligned, Owen stopped not cooperating, Reagan glanced my way, Monte dropped his ball and we got this beauty of a family photo!Of course this is after I’d nearly devoured Reagan in all her perfect, delicious plumpness. yum yum yum

I triple quadruple luvvved their wedding. It was sooo them. From the formals shot in the machine shop, the ceremony with readings from every family member, homemade ice cream sandwiches and a whip cream cake, the first dance to “Flight of the Conchords” and a thumbprint guest book. And that is all I could ask for in a wedding….a personal, meaningful, intentional wedding. Oh and yummy Ethiopian food and a half hour with just me and them after the ceremony doesn’t hurt either.

I think it’s kind of nice to know that, don’t you? Because lots of times it’s not always as easy as it looks. And you can still get images that melt you…like Henry whispering a secret. Now that’s good stuff.

There wasn’t much I had to do except sit back and enjoy what they brought to me!

The obvious things like a stunning gown and beautiful flowers, delicious food and the perfect dessert. But then there are the subtle personal touches…socks, votives, place cards. Signature cocktails, cupcake flags, themes, styles. Erica had some spectacular help  from Katy of Unveiled Events planning her gorgeous wedding….It’s the first time we’ve worked together and she totally blew me away with her attention to detail and careful management.Argh, the flowers were sooooo cool….they had green blackberry accents that just popped off the pinks and whites. All thanks to Fiore Blossoms

Like visit my nieces in Dallas. And we did summer things…like slip and slide, and grilling, and swim meets and craft projects, we made popsicles and played Blokus and sloshed around in the rain. We went for frozen yogurt and over to friends house, climbed trees and explored streams. It was summer summer and I miss it and I miss my brother’s family.

I might irrationally love this photo…my knobby knees and all. It’s just what I wanted to do on this trip…just enjoy the girls and feel sweet with them.

I’m kind of thinking she might be the cutest child in the universe. No. Really.

And now I get to photograph their family…it’s pretty much my favorite thing in the whole world!

It might be a winding road but eventually it led to Gailynn Gluth. I will never stop being thankful for her wonderful taste in friends and amazing referrals. Connor, who is now so long and lanky and grown up and happy and interesting was just a little tottering 2 year old who ran over to his mom and gave her a rose and climbed in her lap for a kiss and a snuggle. They’ve moved to Atlanta now so I don’t see them as often as I’d like but I relish their visits. They have such a love and connection together and share so much of themselves with me. It’s like coming home.
