Happy Friday, friends! Happy last Friday of July, in fact. Can you believe it? It seems like just yesterday I was photographing John’s little nephews playing with sparklers! Things have been so crazy here — I wake up each day, not sure what I did the day before nor what day it actually is. I’ll admit: I did have a few minor anxiety attacks looking at my iCal for July. I wasn’t sure how I’d get through it all, but somehow time marched on and here I am again looking at next month. I hope in the midst of your crazy lives, you’re able to sit down, look ahead, and plan some quality time with those you love. Squeeze the most out of each day, not letting the goodness roll by.
Pam and Christy are those type of people. They see the best in every moment. And in everyone for that matter. Their ceremony was filled with so much symbolism and meaning. I love these ladies. Their day was gorgeous and heartfelt in every way.
Rather than your typical unity candle or sand ceremony, Pam and Christy did this:
Love this shot Jes grabbed of Pam’s mom exiting.
P&C danced the whole way down the aisle to “I’m a Believer.” I just adore their expressions.
Right after they said “I do” we ran off for a few minutes to soak up (and shoot up) what just happened.
Followed by a few shots with their wedding party and nephews. I told you Hillside was crazy. That’s a giant birdcage.
I kinda wanted to take this little boy home. He’s gonna be quite the heartbreaker!
Love this moment of excitement as they prepared to enter the reception.
A tender moment during the dinner blessing.
The toasts were the perfect combination of laughter and wet eyes.
One thing I loved was how kid appropriate this wedding was. P&C really made it fun for their sweet nephews.
Christy’s mom:
Pam and Christy… I love you two. I said it before at your reveal, and I’ll say it again. I feel as though I’ve known you for years. You have a way of loving people that we don’t see often enough. Thank you for befriending Jesie and myself. Thank you for letting us be a part of your commitment.
With joy,
René
