I had the great honor and privilege to photograph this lovely couples wedding!! They are the nicest people you will ever meet and VERY much in love! Joanne made an absolutely stunning bride and I was SO excited when Bill showed up in his cowboy hat!!! : ) I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I have been!!

One of my favorite dress shots of 2013! I LOVED Joanne's beautiful wedding gown.

Another one of my favorites of 2013! I LOVED Joanne's unique wedding ring!

One of my favorite parts of most of the wedding's I shoot is the ' First Look ' It's so emotional and REAL!!

After the first look, we usually go straight into couple portraits! This is my FAVORITE part of the wedding day and my chance to really show some creativity and style!

Wedding party photos went so smoothly and everyone cooperated so well!!

And... we just had to take some pictures of their kids being goofy and having fun!! : )

Off to the ceremony!

We went to the state capitol to take some more fun portraits. The capitol works really well for bridal party photos too as you can stair stack on the steps. Among many other fun things you can do posing wise with stairs or steps!

Joanne wanted some cool pictures with her 'baby' and did we ever get a cool opportunity to take some pictures like Smoky and the Bandit that made Joanne and Bill happy!! : )

The reception was fun and their cake was AWESOME! They had it special designed to look like an old castle ruins in England where Joanne grew up and where Bill proposed to her!! How cool is that!
