I joined Ann and Jay for their wedding at the beautiful Brier Creek Country Club and their ceremony at the Grace Lutheran Church. After an amazing engagement session (click here to view them) and bridal portrait, I was eagerly anticipating this wedding. It was emotionally charged in so many ways! It really means a lot to me when a family shares their love, tears and laughs with me! It is truly why I photograph weddings.
I really had a hard time choosing the “best of” photos so this post is a little on the heavy side. I think the photos will speak for themselves and tell a wonderful story of what a remarkable wedding this was.


Dad sees his daughter for the first time…

A very meaningful prayer circle. I got a little choked up as I overheard their words.



Mom found a secret stash of port behind the lectern…




Ann’s dad goes in for a “fist bump” Awesome!



Ann and Jay incorporated singing into their ceremony.

The ring exchange.


This is a great series of shots. As everyone was accepting communion Ann had no less than 3 wardrobe malfunctions… The whole group was trying their best not to giggle in the corner during an otherwise serious moment.




The guys had a blast racing the tricycles in the back of the church. They said they would do it as long as it didn’t end up on the web… Sorry guys but I just couldn’t keep these to myself!

WIPE OUT!

Jay is king of the hill!


This one is one of my favorite “romantic” photographs of the day…

This was such a sweet candid moment.



Ann’s Bridal portrait was on display at the reception.


Each bridesmaid showed off their custom pink wedding flip flops!




The Corvairs were a smash hit!

Here’s my tribute to the kids… They were so fun to photograph!


I’m pretty good at sneaking up on people to capture those photojournalistic photography moments, but I don’t think I’ve ever been greeted with such a look of surprise!






There is nothing better than dancing with your girlfriends.

She wins the “most infectious smile” award. The “Rapper’s Delight” granny from The Wedding Singer has nothing on her!


Ann through her bouquet with a sharp hook… right into a member of the band! You can see it just above her hand.
