Wes & Renae - 7.19.08

I love shooting outdoor weddings...I just wish I didn't sweat like a crazy woman. We showed up to Renae's house and found everyone inside enjoying the air conditioning. After a few prep shots, Wes and Renae had a little "first glance" moment and then we had some fun with the bridal party. Renae has a horse who was very interested in getting pictures taken with her, but I think more than anything that horse wanted to take a big bite out of her flowers. Renae's family worked hard to get their property ready for two weddings this year. Her younger sister is getting married at the same spot in September. It was incredible...landscaped to the tee, a water wheel garden, stone walls, potted flowers, a wooden bridge that crossed over a stream...a dream for anyone who has ever wanted an outdoor wedding. During the reception, the guests were not shy about telling funny stories and memories they had of the bride and groom. It was obvious that their friends are very important to both of them. Wes & Renae, I was blessed to be a part of your wedding day and I know that the foundation for your marriage is built solid on the Rock. Two are better than one...may you fully experience that truth as you walk hand in hand forever.
