Lauren & Ryan

Despite the fact that the bride and her attendants arrived at the church two hours behind schedule, the ceremony started essentially on time—only five minutes late. After the wedding coordinator dashed to the nearest drugstore to pick up a pair of black socks for the groom—the one item he’d forgotten—the guys lined up for their portraits. With those out of the way and still no bride or bridesmaids, we waited. We worried, and then we waited some more. Finally they arrived. Now the groomsmen lounged in the sanctuary and their dressing room while the bridesmaids frantically powdered their noses, touched up curls, got into their dresses, and marveled at the gorgeous bride. All the anxiety about running behind schedule, however, was clearly forgotten by the bride as she was escorted down the aisle in an exquisite gown whose sparkles matched her radiant glow of excitement and love. At the reception, when the couple had their first dance as husband and wife, the way they held each other and every tender touch illuminated their love and adoration for one another that had grown so much in the five years they dated. The stunning bride made each kiss, dance, smile, and pose picture perfect, a definite favorite of any wedding photographer.

Portrait Mix

With school back in session it's been a lot more difficult to keep up with this blog. I'll have to make it a point to remember to come update it more frequently. Last year I did some portraits with my friends. They're mostly on campus, except for a few with my suitemate that we did at her house over fall break.
