Three weeks ago, I had the opportunity to photograph my first wedding.  I couldn't have been more blessed to be a part of this beautiful day.  Ellen and Kevin dated each other in high school and then went their separate ways.  The found each other again recently and their love was rekindled.  This is the stuff that timeless love stories are made of....

I met them for the first time at the beach the night before their wedding for a quick, informal session, mostly so I would have a chance to talk to them face-to-face.  And, it's my personal opinion that a walk on the beach the night before your wedding is a great stress reliever !  I loved meeting Ellen and Kevin and it was such a joy to see the love they share.

Here are a couple from the night before the wedding session:





The day of the wedding was gorgeous!  Heavy rain was forecast but the day turned out sunny and warm (from a photographer's standpoint, a few clouds would have been nice ) It couldn't have been more perfect.  Here are a few sneak peeks from the wedding day.

Kevin, as he sees his bride getting out of the car.  I just love the look on his face.....




Beautiful Ellen....







After the ceremony...



Kevin's sister and her husband...



Ellen's friend Karen and her husband.  Karen is our church secretary.  I can't tell you how much I love this lady


This one makes me smile....we posed it this way!
