Blessed. Truly blessed. Yesterday's wedding was a testament to why I do what I do. Why I left what I thought I was meant to do...to do what I longed to do... this family means more to me than I can even begin to describe. And I was truly honored to be a part of their day. So...for the moment...I just want to say thank you...and to post a little peak of what was one of the most amazing weddings I have ever been a part of... thank you Katie and Kevin.

Laughing. I do a lot of laughing when I'm with this couple. Mark's sense of humor is right up my alley...and he is a genuine ham...it is so fun to hang out with him...and watch him make Mary laugh. And her laugh. It is rich. It is the kind of laugh that sounds like music.
This couple is seriously amazing. They make the world a better place just by being in it. And you can tell....they were literally surrounded by friends and family at their wedding...who were so wonderful, supportive and fun. It truly has been a blessing to get to know them...
Mary's dress was so her...it was elegant and classy...and her shoes....oh, those shoes. Jimmy Choo...please wait while I wipe the drool off my chin...
This is what I'm talking about.....I. Love. This.

Mary....one word...gorgeous.
Mark and Mary are HUGE Hawkeyes fans...so their theme coordinated with that...right down to the socks...
This is what I'm talking about.....I. Love. This.This awesome alley...I about died when I found it and it's lighting...and Mary about died when I made her go in it...but...it was so worth it!
Thank you boys....this is the money shot.
So...someone forgot his pair of socks at home...but these guys were so giving...one of them gave up a sock to let him in on the fun...and it caused a bit of laughter. It's the moments like this that make the day memorable. Things don't need to be perfect...
A moment of revery after the ceremony...
This is what I meant when I said they were surrounded by friends...above them on the second level...all of their friends lined up along the railing...something about it gave me the shivers...it was heat-warming to hear them all cheer this amazing couple on...
Mark and Mary...what else can I say...besides...Go Hawkeyes!?

Forever. That's how long I feel like we've been friends. Sandie and her sister Stephanie are some of the best friends I have ever had...so when Sandie got engaged to Ryan...I couldn't help but have that bubbling feeling of excitement for her.
It was her dream to have a wedding that was simple, elegant...and so her...and she accomplished that...with so much class I can't even describe it. From the vintage blues and peaches...to the feathers in her hair and the lovely bridesmaid dresses...this wedding was stunning.
A private moment before seeing her groom...

This is all Sandie...I can just hear her talking to her mom as I look at this picture.
A private moment before seeing her groom...A wonderful thanks to the girls at Hyacinth Events for pulling off another gorgeous wedding...her bouquet was stunning....
Sandie...you are so beautiful....
Guys and their cigars....
A brisk jog...
Aren't these dresses to die for!?
Sandie is a baking goddess....and she made her own wedding cake!! So adorable!
Sunsets and candles...the perfect ceremony setting...
Thank you for running outside with me....it was so worth it...
Ryan and Sandie...may your life be richly blessed and your marriage be forever bliss.

Tim and Elisa, I cannot put it any better myself. You both know how much I love you...so I'm not going to go on and on about how amazing you two are and how incredible your wedding was, or how gorgeous you looked Elisa. I'm not going to keep chatting about how hilarious Tim is or how fun your wedding party was or how lovely your families are. I'm not going to keep saying how amazing your vendors were. I'm not going to do it. I'm just going to give you the pictures...because, that's all I can do really. There is nothing else I can do to give your wedding the justice it deserves. Because, it was insanely amazing. And thus, I give you...
