This was *such* a fun time. Molly worked with my sister several years ago. One day, she was cruising her favorite scrapbooking website, Two Peas in a Bucket, and saw a picture of my sister on a page. My page. Funny coincidence! She followed my scrapbooking for several years, then my photography. I was so thrilled and honored that she wanted me to shoot her wedding enough to fly me (and Dave) out to Pennsylvania! It was the first time Dave and I had taken a trip together since having kids. Can you believe it? We enjoyed it so much. I’ll share that part later. But for now, Molly and Bryan!
I really love these shoes. Fun and casual. Perfect.
LOOOVE these flowers.
Bryan’s daughter was a huge part of the day. It was so beautiful watching them become a family. It wasn’t two people joining, it was three. It was beautiful. I love the small version of the bouquet for little missy.
Getting pretty…
I love the little photographer.
I love this shot of Molly and her sisters.
Happiness.
Some details.
Moments before Molly pulled up to the venue… Love this father/daughter moment.
Molly pulled up in the amazing old car (her dad’s!)
I can’t even tell you how lucky we got this day. It was POURING. Pouring pouring pouring. It magically stopped long enough for her to get into the tent, then poured some more. In fact, much of the time during the ceremony, we could barely hear what they were saying, the rain was so intense and loud. Part of me was enjoying beautiful moments like these:
And another part of me was dying over the fact that she brought me across the entire country to be there for her wedding, to take beautiful pictures of her, and we were going to be stuck in the tent because the weather was just so crazy. I was praying that the rain would stop for just a little while so I could get her some pretty shots to make her investment worth it!
God listened. As soon as the ceremony ended, the rain stopped. We ran outside, hoping to get any pics we could during the pause.
To me, it felt like a miracle. I was so relieved to be able to capture these (and more) images!
The speeches were really touching. Everyone was in tears.
All of their rings…
The guys had some fun…
Dancing… man and wife…
Father and daughter…
I love this shot from the father/daughter dance… The ground was so saturated and muddy from the rain that in spots you could sink in the mud up to your ankles. They weren’t concerned… it didn’t dampen the fun at all, probably even added to it!
It was such a beautiful, amazing day. It was so wonderful to be a part!
