My first wedding shoot :)

I had the privilege of taking pictures at a wedding Thursday morning. When my friend called to see if I would take pictures for her daughter's wedding, I was just a bit excited. :) Although WAY out of my league as I am new to all this picture taking stuff, I felt honored that they would ask me to help out.

It was small and intimate ceremony. Just the bride and groom's parents, grandparents and siblings. The groom was leaving for military training the next day, so they decided to get married before he had to leave.

Seeing this young couple brought me back to my early days of being in love.

The Bride's grandparents reminding us that you are never too old, or been married too long to hold hands! :)

After the ceremony it is often a tradition to go to a bar, but since this isn't a bar family, they went to Starbucks, where the bride works. It seemed a fitting atmosphere for this young, fun, hip couple.

It certainly was a "new day" for the happy couple!

After Starbucks, they headed over to a beautiful club to enjoy some lunch. What a joy it was for me to watch as the bride and grooms families laughed, told stories, and celebrated the uniting of a new family.

A private moment together.

Congratulations M & K. May God bless you in the years to come. I pray that the love you have for one another now will only continue to grow and mature. Thank you for allowing me to share in your special day with you.
