I love, love, love, love working with friends and family of past brides and grooms – over and over again. It is a compliment in the finest form when previous bridesmaids, groomsmen or family members of past brides and grooms contact me for their special day. I have shot Katie as a bridesmaid at Krystle and Pete’s wedding, as a maid of honour at Lacey and Dan’s wedding and also worked with her professionally as Katie is a co-ordinator at the Crowne Plaza. Needless to say when we were at the end of Lacey and Dan’s reception and Katie asked me to photograph her upcoming wedding I was thrilled. Mike and Katie are the perfect couple – both have a fun and happy outlook on life and were made for each other. Mike actually served in the army in Afghanistan and I for one am so thankful for men and women like him who serve our country and I am especially happy that Mike made it home safely, for Katie’s arms is where he belongs. A more intimate and private affair their wedding at Hernder’s was truly a touching event. Katie said her vows like I have never heard any other bride say them; as happy tears kept welling up in her eyes she said her vows as if they were poetry and they were – an ode and a promise to always be each other’s best friends and be there no matter what. Katie brought me to tears a few times that day, one of my favorite moments is when we were taking the formal photos and I heard Katie exclaim in joy at the rain “Micheal – looks these raindrops are all the tears we will never have to cry during our marriage!” This is one of the most optimistic and all right downright romantic way to look at rain on your wedding day! But I should expect no less of Katie – I was so happy to be there to photograph these two crazy lovebirds – as my first wedding back after the baby it was a nice way to ease into things. Check out a few teasers from the day . . .
Isn’t Katie gorgeous? I love her red shoes 🙂
I love how completely lost in the kiss she is
Totally love that they were willing to travel across the street in the rain to get a few photos near this field – you know me and fields 😉
Thanks again Katie and Mike for having Bryan and I along – it was an honour!
Wishing your friendship and love,
Amanda
