Jen + Josh | Harrisonburg Virginia Wedding

Wednesday, June 15th, 2011

“I’m channeling Kate Middleton,” said Jen as we walked in to the music room at Blessed Sacrament in downtown Harrisonburg. I believed her. Because at that moment, it was pouring rain. Thundering. But Jen was all smiles. Probably because she was getting married to her boyfriend and best friend of 9 years. Yes. That must be what it was.

The day began with a frenzy of beautiful girls at a nearby hotel. Soon both the guys and the ladies were at the church waiting and welcoming guests. The rain stopped, and the sun lit up the church just in time for Jen to walk down the aisle. The entire day was filled with laughter, surprises, and rainbows. [Literally. I saw three rainbows.] I am so honored to have been a part of this wedding. It was also nice being able to visit JMU. Jen and Josh, you guys rock!

Even Duke Dog made an appearance!

LOVED the father daughter dance. It started out nice and slow…

And the Soulja Boy came on… and then Billy Jean… and then…

Jen and Josh, thanks so much for an awesome night with so many beautiful moments. You made me feel like part of the family!!


Joy + Brown | South Carolina Wedding

Wednesday, June 8th, 2011

“Joy wants to know if you’ll shoot her wedding,” is the question I got from my best friend [sister in law of the newly engaged Joy]. Honored? Stoked? Blessed? Those were a few words that came to mind. So there we were. June 4th I’d be in Abbeville, South Carolina with one of my favorite families in the world. And thats not just a wedding photographer making exagerations about her clients. This is actually one of my favorite families. The Cains are the most humble, warm, welcoming people. And Joy is no exception. She laughs at herself and makes you feel important. And she has no idea how beautiful she is. “I’m not very photogenic,” she says. Right. Ok.

Anyway, I arrived in South Carolina with my second shooter the night before the wedding. Because of how small the town is, our only options for lodging were a few bed and breakfasts. Which was perfect. The Bernibrooks Inn [another blog post coming about this amazing place], a recommendation from the Cains, was just a block from both the wedding and reception. And with all of it’s South Carolinian charm, the inn was a great choice. A big ol’ porch for the evenings, and AC for the hot days. And boy was it hot. June 4th isn’t exactly mid summer, but there’s no convincing the weather. All said, we had a beautiful day.

This was one of my favorite moments. This is Joy and Brown behind a curtain. The next photo is of Caroline, Joy’s sister blowing on her eyes so she would stop crying!

A few “OMG I’m about to get married!!!” jitters…

Married!
