Kristie & Jeremy {Wedding}

It was the day of their wedding and it seemed like no big deal. Everybody floated around the house as if it were just any other day. When I arrived, Kristie was beading jewelry for her mother and her 8 bridesmaids while one of her attendants designed and hand-made bouquets for the bridal party. One by one, the girls filed into the dressing room and had their hair and make-up done. The room was filled with laughter as Kristie explained to everyone that Jeremy and his groomsmen were lucky enough to enjoy lunch at the world-famous Perini Steakhouse while the girls were stuck with burritos from Taco Bueno. Everyone was in good spirits and there was not one ounce of nervousness in the air....until....

Everyone was dressed - Kristie in her amazing ball gown and Jeremy all spiffied up in his green and brown tux. They had seen each other a million times, but all of the sudden, it was REAL. They were getting married.

Jeremy quietly waited under the gazebo at Kristie's parents' house with his back turned. Kristie tip-toed out of the house and up the path toward her future husband. They were both nervous. I could almost hear them thinking, "How do I look"? But as Kristie snuck up behind Jeremy and touched his back, Jeremy smiled the biggest smile I have ever seen. As he turned around to see his bride for the first time, his eyes lit up as he soaked in her beauty in amazement. Tender. Sweet. Loving. All of the butterflies melted away and they were ready. Ready to commit their lives to one another.

Kristie and Jeremy exchanged vows just before sunset in front of their friends and family. It was a beautiful ceremony, held under a canopy of trees.

Kristie and Jeremy, I feel honored to have had the opportunity to document your love. Thank you for letting me be a part of your big day!
