The morning of Brad & Alison’s wedding I woke up to the crash of thunder. A storm was ragging just outside my window. My first thought of the day was about the mid-afternoon wedding. I said a little prayer that we would have at least some time without storms during the day and then went about my day preparing for the special event. As it turns out we received a beautiful day. We had to dodge the occasional rain drop, but some times in life and in marriage you need to get good at “dodging the raindrops” and focusing on celebrating the beautiful. This was truly a day of celebrating the beautiful.

Brad & Alison glowed. Every time they caught sight of one another a huge smile would creep onto their faces. It was beautiful and heartwarming to watch and I felt honored to be a part. Brad & Alison’s family and friends did a gorgeous job with every last detail right down to the delicious Norwegian wedding treats, cake and every single stunning flower arrangement.

One of my very favorite shots of the entire day camp at the very end of my time there. It was literally my last shot of the evening. Alison and her mom were out on the dance floor and just happened to turn towards the camera. “Click”.

Thank you for allowing me into your incredibly special day. I had a wonderful time and am looking forward to sharing the rest of your photos with you soon!

Last Saturday was absolutely gorgeous. Warm, sunny, and an absolutely perfect day for an outdoor wedding. After an adventurous ride back into the woods Dave & Allyssa said their unique vows under the towering trees. The setting was perfect. It was the start of a great day. The rings were presented in a little wire birds nest (shown in the first picture). Congratulations & best wishes Allyssa & Dave! Thank you for including me in your day.
