Carson and Rachel \\ Wedding

Well, well, well... it's about time eh!? I am so happy to finally be able to post these pictures for you. Be ready to see a lot of photos because I just couldn't choose which ones were the best of the best so I just picked a ton!

Carson and Rachel are married now and was a joy that is. They are some of my great friends and I was so honored to be able to photograph such an important day for them. They're wedding was great, tons of fun, and there were lots of pears. You see, they are the perfect pair (pear), would that be perfect pear then? Who knows...

Without further ado, I give you Carson and Rachel and their pearfect wedding!!! (Lame joke???)

Below: Rachel gave Carson a group of letters on the morning of their wedding that she had written him during their dating relationship.

Below right: This is one of my absolute favorites from the entire day.

Below: Carson and Rachel decided to do a first sight. This was my first time photographing a first sight and it was just priceless. Carson was blown away by Rachel.

Below left: Rachel's dad did the ceremony and what a great ceremony it was. It was really special to Rachel and Carson to have her father marry them.

Below: These are probably two of the most amazing, hilarious, absolutely priceless dancing photos that I have ever taken. While I was processing and editing, I would sit on these photos and just crack up. Thank you Rachel and Katie for being so great!

What a great day it was for Carson and Rachel and everyone that was able to take part in it. I am so happy of proud of Carson and Rachel and I cannot wait to see how God uses them for His glory.

Thank you so much Carson and Rachel for allowing me to photograph your wedding. I hope you find some photos that you absolutely love and adore.

Also, a big thanks to Justin Mahood who filmed the wedding as well as their engagement session.

As always, let me hear what you think! Thanks and God bless.

Rachel \\ Bridals

You may remember Rachel from her engagement shoot with her fiance, now husband, Carson.

We ventured out in the early morning to catch some pure sunrise light. It was early, but it was beautiful and we came away with some amazing photos.

I so glad I can finally post these pictures. Carson and Rachel's wedding was this past Friday and it came together beautifully.

Without further ado, here's Rachel...

Below: My favorite.

Here's a quick sneak peek of Carson and Rachel's wedding. More to come in the coming weeks.

ONLY TWO PICTURES?! Yep, that's why it's called a sneak peek.

Let me know what you think of Rachel's bridals and be sure to check back for more from their wedding.

Tim & Lauren \\ Wedding

Well, Tim and Lauren finally got married. And what a great wedding it was! The ceremony and reception were held at West Manor Bed & Breakfast in Forest, VA. It is a beautiful venue.

It's been a great journey with Tim and Lauren. I've loved getting to photograph them over the past year and I look forward to what God has for them in the future.

A good amount of the guests at Tim and Lauren's wedding were either past or present members of YouthQuest. We wanted to get a big group shot of all the YouthQuester's. Naturally we had a great time together and it was awesome that we could all be there to celebrate the marriage of friends.

A big thanks to Kelly D'Ambrosio who captured the night through video, it was great working with you and I can't wait to see the final product!

Tim and Lauren. You two are awesome and I've loved getting to know you more and more each time we work together. Have an awesome marriage and God bless!
