This was a small family-only, private outdoor wedding in this couples neighborhood community. It was a perfect day despite a few sprinkles but it was great lighting for taking pictures. This bride is one of my dearest friends and I am so happy for her and her new husband and they begin their lives together as husband and wife and become an instant family of four. Husband, wife, two adorable children, a family. It was a very special ceremony for more than just them but because my dad officiated the ceremony. I was the photographer, my dad was the minister, and my mom, Michael and our kiddos were guests. Such a fun time and some great pictures too. You may think this is a lot of pictures but I took over 400, narrowed it down to about 300 and then chose my top twenty something to put on here but who's counting right? Enjoy!

It's picture time!
I had to have a picture with the bride, so Michael took this one.
I think these next two pictures are my favorite from the whole day. It shows how happy they are!
