Last wedding of the year…and what an AWESOME one it was! Jennifer & Bret met while working at Dixon Hughes, PLLC – one of my favorite corporate clients in town. Jennifer has the sweetest, most bubbly personality…Bret is a true “man’s man” and very serious cyclist. After Jennifer’s three beautiful sisters helped her get ready, she and Bret shared a private “First Glance” together in the sanctuary. It was a time to hold each other tight, express their love for each other, and just enjoy the calm before the mayhem began. The ceremony was held at the always-photogenic Summerville Presbyterian Church. Many thanks to Pastor Mike and Cathy Ward, their wonderful wedding planer. I love that spontaneous burst of laughter during the vows. And isn’t the flower girl asleep on the pew just the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen?!? The celebration continued at Medicine Wind Farms, a fantastic little horse farm with a rustic reception hall that provided the warm ambiance for the party. When I arrived and saw the wonderful rich green paint on the outside of the hall, I waited for the newlyweds to arrive so I could get this next image. At the end of the evening, as the party wound down and the guests lined up outside to blow bubbles, I peaked inside just in time to grab this shot of Bret’s quiet strength as he waits for Jennifer to share a loving hug with her Dad.
