Friday Favorites – Getting ready

It wouldn’t be wedding day photo coverage without some shots of the dress and people getting ready, I’m really fond of how this pictures captures a bit of all of that.   The dress hangs on the door while the bride gets her makeup touched up and a bridesmaid has her hair attended too.  ...

Friday Favorites – Holding Hands

I love how hands can often be almost as expressive as faces.   The way this bride and groom are holding hands during their wedding ceremony speaks volumes about their love for each other on this day.
