Ben + Katie : Married

OKAY. Let me get you prepped for what feels like my longest blog ever. In some ways I feel ashamed. As a photographer, you’re supposed to know when to ‘self-edit’ and not throw too many photos out there for everyone to see. You know, less is more and all that. BUT as a person that fell in love with Ben and Katie’s wedding day, I say, “Edit- Schmedit! I loved this wedding and I’m showing it off, darn it!”  My hope is that you’ll find it was well worth the journey.

And let me say how endearing I found this whole group of people. I adore Ben and Katie and their families and friends. While the ceremony was beautiful, the decorations adorable, and the bride and groom gorgeous… the day wouldn’t have been perfect without Ben and Katie’s lovely friends and family.

Ben and Katie, thank you for choosing me to capture your day!

Now sit tight, get comfy, and enjoy their wonderful wedding….

A First Look can be one of the best parts of a couple’s wedding day.

In those sweet moments, nothing else exists except you and your future spouse. It’s a perfect way to see each other for the first time and enjoy each other’s company before your wedding day spins into a glorious whirlwind.

One of THE most stunning brides I’ve ever photographed!

This photo chokes me up. As they partook in communion, Ben led them in prayer. He whispered in her ear, my heart swelled up and tears stung my eyes. This is exactly how my husband leads me in prayer as we take communion on Sunday morning at church. This month is our 11th wedding anniversary. My mind raced back to 11 years ago and I identified with Ben and Katie, then raced forward to the years ahead for them. I hope they continue to pray together they way they did that day.

Ben cut loose by breaking out his air guitar and giving us all a little performance.

Congrats, Lovebirds! Wishing you lots of laughter and love!
