A Bride... A Friend

I decided about 8 months ago that I was not going to do any more Weddings.
They are wonderful.... and I love to do them, but they also take up lots of time.
And since the stork dropped off my sweet Brady....
My time has become increasingly sparse..
space
But.... as you know with many things in life....
There are exceptions to the rules..

This wasn't just any Bride.....

It was a precious girl that I am proud to call... my friend.

AND.... her mother just happens to be one of the dearest
people I know in all the world...
So.......... of course
I was more than happy to be a part of their special day!

Here are a tiny few of the zillions of pictures I took at "my last wedding"


Thank you Taren....
for your wonderful smiles, your incredible courage, your fight to overcome ,
your willingness to change, and your desire for a life filled
with fairy tales......

May God bless you always on your journey ahead..
space

And may it be filled with a lifetime of dreams...
space
May we always leave room in our life for an exception to the rule...

Well.....I am glad you decided to do this for Taren...She was a beautiful bride and I know it meant the world to her for you to be her photographer. You did an amazing job and as always captured the moment perfectly...Keep up the good work!!!

Wonderful pics, it's a shame that this will be your "last" because you are so great at what you do. I know life has taken you in a different direction, enjoy what you do. Taren and Colter are a beautiful Bride and Groom and I am certain that they will share many, many years together.

Knowing Taren for as long as I have, I couldn't imagine anyone else taking these pictures for her on this very special day! The pictures are amazing! My favorite is Taren and Kylie, it is beautiful!

The tears are welling up in my eyes viewing these pictures. I don't know which is more magnificent your photography or Taren's beauty.
