Carol & David : Married

Saturday morning, I had the honor of watching my mom get married to a wonderful man. They didn't want an extravagant wedding... rather one that reflected their personalities and interests. Their love for the outdoors and a desire for a simple and happy life together was apparent by having a small, beautiful wedding in the backyard.
Though I wasn't a hired photographer, I couldn't help but bring my camera along to document her special day. There are a lot of favorites, so don't be surprised that it's image overload in this post. :) Congratulations you two!


My favorite ring shot of all time.




Carol and David had a harpist play during the ceremony and a portion of the reception. It was so pretty!




David and the minister patiently wait for the bride.







So excited to see her groom!




Sweet details...










A simple detail shot that I absolutely love!




A moving prayer before being announced as husband and wife.




After the ceremony, everyone feasted on an amazing spread of barbecued food. It was delicious! We laughed, talked, and ended the event with homemade ice cream (since David doesn't like cake!) Later in the day, we snuck away for a few sunset pictures. I love the one below.




I love this series... for not liking being in the spotlight, these two know how to work the camera!










A modern version of the traditional image. Since the wedding was on a farm, I couldn't NOT take this picture!
