She sat in my office a week before the wedding pouring out the stresses of the last few weeks but still strong – still totally excited to marry Mike. Just saying the words aloud let Laura exhale and get rid of all the worries. As we discussed the details of her day and some advice on beauty products Laura told me the sweetest words a client can ever utter “Whatever you want to do, we’ll do, we trust your judgment and love your photos”. This trust should always exist but it is never explicit and totally without limits as it was in this statement from Laura. We asked her and Mike to climb trees; they did, we asked them to sit on the ground and with no hesitation they did. With a gorgeous day and a beautiful starting location (Nokara Farms – Cottage) and a GREAT wedding party – I knew this was going to be a fun day full of laughter, days like these make me love my job so much. Mike & Laura have one of my favorite kinds of relationships – to the end these two will always be each other’s best friend. Tears spilled from both of their eyes as Laura walked down the aisle to Mike as they knew they had finally come home. I can’t thank these two enough for choosing me to capture their day and for also extending their friendship. I hope you had an awesome time at the cottage and that you enjoy each other as best friends and life partners.

As a side note – I would be remiss if I didn’t thank – profusely – Mama Clarke. A mother with a heart of gold who took very good care of all of us on the wedding day and who helped me in more ways than one that day. Laura (and Mike) you are so lucky to have her! All of the family was awesome and super helpful and you have the sincere thanks of all three of us.

Ok so now for some photos . . .

Laura’s gorgeous pearls – the ring is her Great Grandmother Legacy’s

Katie dragged this chair outside to get the contrast and I love it!

Two of the gorgeous Clark girls taking care of some make up issues

So many shoes for so many girls! Laura is one of four girls! Then had her two new sisters in the wedding party as well.

Awwwwww

Nice catch Katie! This is just before heading into the chapel at Ball’s Falls

The whole gang!

I asked the girls to go play up on the hill – it’s so hard being a flower girl eh! I just couldn’t resist the light.

One more just outside the hall at sunset!

Thanks to both Katie & Bryan who helped me out on this wedding. Bryan, as most of you know is my loving husband but Katie is a new addition to our team. She will be doing a co-op placement with our studio this semester and with the awesome shots she took at Mike & Laura’s wedding who knows after that!
