Nicole & Caleb – 5.28.16

This wedding had a few firsts for me as a wedding photographer, first tattoo ring (very freaking cool), first dog ring bearer (yeeeesss!!!), and first bride ‘almost passing out at the alter.’ No lie. And hey, I don’t blame her. It was probably the 2nd hottest day of the summer, add in some nerves, and a heavy wedding dress and boom, pass out time. Thankfully, that didn’t happen! After some water and fans everything continued to move smoothly! One of the funnier moments was in the receiving line when their grandma started heckling them, “Well I never! In all my years, I’ve never had a bride almost pass out at the alter!” Everyone laughed as hugs and kisses were shared.

Molly & Paul -5.27.16

Molly and Paul were perfect too! They champed through the heat and absorbed some sunshine for their photos. These two both have a love of the outdoors, hence the beautiful estates of Allenberry Resort Inn and outdoor ceremony, small ring box made to look like a tree stump (with their initials carved into it), and a beautiful flower covered arbor. Paul also has a love of fishing (note Yellow Breeches Creek in the background). He makes a lot of his own flies too. They even incorporated a fly into his boutonniere! How cool is that?!

Joan and Tim – 4.16.16

What a wonderful wedding to start the season with! These two lovebirds have been together for 17 years! After a long romance in the summer of 2015, Joan proposed to Tim on their boat with the light of a thousand candles and their children’s cheers from their dock. While neither was looking for love, Joan and Tim met out on the water where Tim was captioning the boat Joan had been assigned to. With a mutual love of the water, biking, and hiking, it was a match meant to be!
