The sun sparkled across the green meadow and the big stone barn….

They stood side by side. He wrapped his long arm around her shoulder and pulled her close. She gave him a “I know you” smile. Today was their day.

Among those dearest, they pledged their devotion. Pledged love. Pledged to stay side by side. Until their last breath. Matt and Lena radiated from the joy they shared in marrying their soul mate.

It was evident in the laughter and hugs exchanged, family and friends came together to celebrate this day. It was a privilege to document!

Matt and Lena…may you have many walks in the moonlight, milk and cookies at midnight, baseball games won, and years side by side!

See more at the slide show.

They compliment each other! They bring out the good, the best in the other!

She knows with out a doubt, he is the one.

He knows where he is going and knows he wants her by his side.

And they could not be more happy with this!

Settled and ready…today was there day. To celebrate Rodney and Rochelle and love. Completely.  Finally.

The day began in the early morning hours on Rochelle’s family farm. Let me share of few of Rodney and Rochelle’s day…

Early morning….

Meira, Rochelle’s niece,  is the flower girl!

The flowers arrived…beautiful, stark, and perfect! Sunlight streamed through the windows and danced on the floor.  All the finishing touches were made to hair and dress. She looked calm and content as her bridesmaids circled the room like busy bees! The day was planned and the details were taken care of!  Gwen was ready to take the man of her dreams by the hand and say forever!

And him…Nate was more than ready to see his girl, his very own!

It was time!  Today they were going to wear a wedding band for the other! Today they were going to pledge in front of family and friends to love until the end of time! They were certain it was meant to be and life together would be perfect!

Nate and Gwen, thanks do much for allowing me to be part of your day! I wish you nothing but joy and happiness in your lives together! God bless!

There is something about a good contrast that grips me!

The beautiful bumping shoulders with ugliness!

Delicateness standing tall next to rough!

Refinement and sophistication pairing up with the gritty!

Willing to brave the ugly for a few shots…

More to come of this fantastic couple!

A bright, crisp and cold morning with sunlight sparkling on a fresh blanket of soft snow! Hustle and bustle of last minute preparations! Pure white flowers with little sprigs of red berries, ready and waiting! Rose putting on the finishing touches. John arriving in the antique truck! It was true…today was their day!

They were happy. Settled. Ready. The day was going to be perfect and I don’t believe anybody or anything could have convinced them otherwise! Maybe it was the way he looked at his bride or the beaming smile on her face….all day. They knew this day was made for only them!

John and Rose are some of the most kind, considerate, and genuinely in love people I have ever encountered! The day was filled with the rich warmth of strong family ties, exchanged bear hugs,  tears and prayers! It was quite clear, their guests truly loved John and Rose and believed in them and their day! Everybody wanted to show their support and found numerous ways to do so!

Thank-you, John and Rose for allowing me to document the day when God stopped to give you the blessing of foreverness! I wish you nothing less than joy and happiness! God bless!

All the brothers!

A rose with a hand written note tucked in her windshield……that is how it all began!

The handsome boy she seen around, became a friend, and then became more, was going to be “her man”. And the man of her dreams!

The sun sparkled and a breeze danced!

The prefect white dress was ready and waiting!

Flowers…lots of flowers!

And one could hear faint laughter as friends and family began to arrive!

Denise glowed and Jere couldn’t stop grinning!

Today was the day…the happy couple pledged forever and forever to each other!

Jere and Denise…may you climb mountains together, go to lots of hockey games, play two man Rook, have spaghetti and meatballs at midnight, and laugh like no one is watching!

I wish you only the very best in your lives together! Congratulations!

a lovely bride, indeed!

The bride maids shoes coordinated perfectly with the sunshine yellow sashes on their dresses!

And a little shoe bling!

Krista and Darwin……..you are perfectly matched and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you guys as a team! I wish the very, very best in your lives together!

It was another gorgeous day on the farm! The sun shined warm on the golden hay fields, the flowers bloomed bright purples and yellows, and the rowboat rested serenely as always, on the pond among all the lilies!

But today was not just another day on the farm! There was the hustle and bustle of florists and caterers , a big white tent, lanterns strung high in the trees, and two shiny antique tractors ready and waiting! Yes, even the birds perched on the old barn roof knew something special was happening today!

Today Dan was taking “his girl” by the hand…….across the creek, up the field lane to the perfect spot he choose in his father’s fields!

The view was spectacular! Dan and Ashley promised to love, honor, and hold each other during good and bad. In sickness and health. In richness and poverty. Here in the sun drenched field, they promised to love until death breaks them apart!

Dan and Ashley had a wonderful sincerity about them! Their love for each other radiated and couldn’t be missed! I had the privilege of assisting Rick from Titus Touch Photography in this lovley wedding!

“You and me……forever!”

A wonderful all-white bouquet!

The ceremony…….

Reception goodies!

A very pretty bride, indeed!

Dan and Ashley……thanks for including me in your day! I wish you the very, very best in your lives together!
