brandi & gary

i must admit i am one very lucky photographer. anyone in the wedding business will talk about their horror brides, and how mean the moms can be, i cannot tell you a bad story about my groups. five years now, and my brides, grooms and moms and dads are all absolutely amazing! brandi & gary are of course added to that list! they are so laid back, hilarious, and just two amazing, genuine people. leading up to their wedding day they had quite the rocky road, but you would have never guessed it by the smiles on their faces. these two wrote their own vows, and brandi actually changed hers the morning of their wedding. to sum it up she had stated, nothing else matters but the love to each other and their closest friends and family. such an amazing wedding. i thank the two of you so much for letting me be apart of your day!

aubri & chris

boy oh boy i do not even know where to start on this one!! well, like i summed them up at their engagement session, these two are fabulous, and EVERYONE at their wedding knew it. aubri was absolutely glowing the entire day, i don't think that smile ever came off of her face. this was the day of floods galore, and just pouring down ran. you would never guess there was a problem if you spoke to aubri. chris was the same way! smiling all day, so nice and happy to just be his wedding day. luckily, the rain did stop for a little bit during our photo time. OOOOOH THE LUCK! the rest of the stories will be told through pictures....

*the new "bride of bud lite"*

her entire family is just amazing

haha, it is quite exhausting putting on a tux

like seriously, she looks stunning here

they decided to see each other before the ceremony and immediately started kissing, and kissing and kissing! LOVE THESE TWO!!

this is elliot, we have become best friends

he passed this test BTW

NEVER in my 5 years of photographing weddings have i heard cheering SOOO LOUD as i did when they first announced Mr. & Mrs. this was one of my favorite moments of the day, brought tears to my eyes. simply amazing :)

do you see why i love this group?

wicked sweet!

another favorite part of the day was knowing how thoughtful, caring, and completely unselfish chris & aubri are. they made several moments of their wedding, about their friends and family including our friends charitie & marcus

during charitie & marcus' first dance at their wedding, there was a little mix up with their song choice, so they did not have the correct song. charitie was of course so upset! aubri & chris took a moment out of their reception to bring up charitie & marcus, and play their correct first dance song. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? who does that? loved it! i was so happy to be there and witness the excitement on charitie & marcus' faces. charitie told me later that was the first time they danced to the correct song. after 7 months, finally they get their dance.

famous first dance song? "Feels Like Home" by Chantal Kreviazuk

and these are all my new friends

thank you sooooo much for having me be apart of this wedding!!
