I’ve been looking forward to shooting this wedding! Lindsey and Drew are just so much fun to be around. To meet them is to love them both instantly so it was no surprise that their wedding was chock full of love and smiles and lots of laughter. These are the kinds of weddings I love. It was an absolute pleasure being a part of this day. I can honestly say that my cheeks hurt by the time we left from a bunch of laughing and smiling of my own.

This is one of my favorites of Lindsey from the day. Her eyes absolutely sparkle!
I love this hydrangea & rose bouquet. So pretty.
These two made a lot of their wedding decorations. It was important to them to have a hand in creating the decor. Each member of the family and bridal party carried one of these cool paper flowers down the aisle and one by one decorated the arch for the ceremony. The individual flowers represent the important role these people have played in Lindsey & Drew’s lives. Each one helps to make up a little part of the whole and together they are all united to create something beautiful. I love special little moments like this that make each wedding unique. Good work guys!
Drew rented this amazing vintage car for their getaway. Its driver is just as cool and interesting as the car itself. His name was Lance and I totally want to be his friend. I can tell he has some super amazing stories to tell!
A first dance in beautiful, natural light! That never happens!
Branden took this shot and I’m in love with it! This is why I bring him along sometimes…he works it!
The toasts have become one of my favorite parts of weddings. They are always so personal and telling and I love hearing about these amazing people as seen through the eyes of those who love them most. And I love Lindsey’s giggles! Priceless.
Party time!
Just a few more of their great handmade details. I love the cake-toppers especially!
