Ryan & Elizabeth are simply amazing people. They are so kind and they light up any room they are in.

The wedding was supposed to be outside but it unfortunately got rained out. Elizabeth and everyone involved handled the very sudden changes with so much grace. Honestly though, rain or not… nothing could stop this wedding from being anything but fabulous. Everything was perfect and there was joy in the air!

Thank you Ryan and Elizabeth for giving us the honor of documenting your lovely wedding!

I adore these warm fall colors!

Elizabeth’s smile as her father saw her for the first time. Totally daddy’s girl. :-)

Even though the ceremony was moved into the reception tent it was still beautiful!

Lucky for us the rain calmed down for about 15 minutes and we were able to run outside. We couldn’t walk around because the ground was muddy, but lucky for us there was a cement path. Yay!

Elizabeth, you are such a true beauty.

Again, I just love the warm colors.

I’ll end with a sweet first dance moment. :-)

Josh and Jessi have a total calm about them. They are both so filled with Jesus you can’t help but notice it. They are truly beautiful in every single way and their wedding was no exception.

Everything about their amazing day completely represented them. It was a day worth celebrating and there was more love and laughter than you could imagine!

Every detail was beautiful and every moment was cherished. The way it’s supposed to be. :-)

Josh is so loving and such a leader. His vows definitely made me tear up and reminded me of how blessed I am to do what I do.

Jessi is charismatic and beautiful from the inside out. There isn’t much Jessi can’t do, yet she is one of the most humble people that I’ve ever met. They truly are perfect together.

Thank you both for allowing us to be a part of your lovely wedding.

Now for some photos!

I simply adored Jessi’s dress. So feminine and beautiful!!

This is so Jessi. Always a smile.

Jessi, you are simply stunning.

Josh, waiting for their first look.

I’d say that they liked what they saw. ;-)

These two together just make me happy. Such a beautiful couple.

They had their wedding in Josh’s families beautiful backyard. Look at these amazing details that they incorporated! I love creativity!

A sweet communion moment.

How can you not smile looking at them?! :-)

Jessi actually made their adorable cake! Be sure and check out her blog! She has amazing recipes and TONS of info regarding food allergies. I highly suggest taking some time to read it, you’ll totally learn something!

You may remeber Brad & Aimee’s fun and sunny beach engagement session where you can read all about their amazing story.

They’ve been through everything you can be put through. Aimee has watched the man of her dreams fight for his life and has been there in the scary times but also the beautiful times.

Their wedding was truly a joy and an honor to be a part of. It was one of the most peaceful weddings that we’ve ever attended. I think because it was truly all about love and support for this absolutely amazing couple. If you know them, you are blessed. Seriously.

Thank you Brad for being a hero and Aimee for also being a hero. You two are amazing!

I absolutely love daisies.

This is how these two are all of the time. FULL of personality and smiles.

Brad and his sweet dog Duke.

Oh Aimee, you are so gorgeous.

I saw this amazing quote that Aimee had. I never realized this was exactly what the Purple Heart meant. What an honor.

Let it be known that he who wears the military order of the Purple Heart has given of his blood in the defense of his homeland and shall forever be revered by his fellow countrymen. –Gen. George Washington, Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army, Aug. 7, 1782

What beautiful girls. Seriously.

There isn’t much some daisies and a sword can’t handle. Just sayin’ ;-)

Aimee, you are amazingly beautiful.

I love cupcakes and I love yellow. These definitely make me happy. :-)

Brad and Aimee wantet to release these amazing lanterns! Think Tangled! It was so incredibly beautiful and such a neat thing for the guests to participate in.

This was probably one of the most fun and amazing weddings that we have ever been a part of. From the moment we got there everyone was full of laughter and energy.

Travis and Kim truly are a perfect match. They are so different from each other yet compliment each other so well. They have such amazing chemistry and totally have fun with each other. I’m pretty sure I spent most of the day just laughing and smiling, because when you are with them, it’s contagious.

Travis is so passionate. He’s smart and full of life. He’s so sweet with Kim and it’s so clear how much he loves her.

Kim is the most vibrant person you will ever meet. She’s beautiful and so spunky. She’s the type of person that will get you to let your guard down and have a good time.

The wedding was more than just a good time though, it was full of so much love. I can see why, it would be hard not to absolutely adore these two.

Thank you both for letting us be a part of your wonderful wedding!!

Purple shoes!! Love these.

Kim, you seriously are beautiful.

Travis and Kim decided to do a “first touch” instead of a first look. I thought it was absolutely the sweetest thing. And honestly, don’t they look like they could be the models for a crest ad?

I love, love, love older churches! SO much character.

This photo fully expresses what these guys are all about. Pure joy.

Probably the best group of groomsmen. Ever.

One of the reasons I couldn’t stop laughing. This group probably had the best sense of humor ever. Seriously, I was dyyyying when these two came out.

Of course there had to be amazing dancing.

Mr. and Mrs!

You two are amazing.

Crest model! ;-)

More dancing. :-)

Travis is a huge Ron Paul supporter. So clearly, it was important for him to rap while wearing a Ron Paul shirt.  :-) Go Ron Paul!

Cake! I’m obsessed with the cake cutting photos… especially when this happens! Who won!?

Definitely Kim. :-)
