How they met: Brett and Laura technically met in the 4th grade. They started dating their senior year of high school. I was so honored they choose me to shoot their beautiful wedding in Mexico. I loved spending time with both of your families and thanks so much for making us feel like a part of everything!
This was one wet and wild and crazy day. But oh so much fun!! I love Pat and Lacey’s personality, especially together. Lacey said that she wants to love Pat the least on this day so their love can grow stronger everyday and I though that was the sweetest thing! The rain did not stop us from having a wild and crazy fun day. The hills of Branson, MO looked amazing with the fog from the rain so I was not complaining. The real party happened when we arrived at the Chateau on the Lake. Enjoy 
This was such an emotional day! I was fighting back tears all day. Even as a wedding photographer I cry too! Actually I usually cry at every wedding just a little bit, but this wedding was just a tear jerker all day! Erin and Jared are perfect for each other. As the girls were getting ready in the hotel the boys were getting ready in the next room. They were making Erin hide because Jared keep coming in! “You can’t see me yet” she would say. Pretty funny keeping these two from each other. One of Erin’s best friends could not be here with her on her wedding day but she added all the special touches to make her there that day. Enjoy
Also so thankful for my second shooter Nancy Sikes! You rock and wanted to show off some of your images in this post!
Here comes the emotional part Erin was able to have her friend be with her by wearing her necklace on her wedding day. So special I could just tell that this meant so much to Erin. She was so glad to have Jared there for her on such an emotional day. He really calmed her down even when she had a “almost meltdown” hehe
Got the opportunity to second shoot a small and quaint reception with the lovely Leslie O’Hara. These two were bronzed and beautiful after getting back from St. John’s where they got married. Enjoy!
