Nathan and Jessica's Beautiful Wedding at Rustlers Rooste

 What a beautiful wedding at Rustlers Rooste!!  This wedding was a little personal for me.  I do not know Jessica (the bride) all that well but I've seen and heard about her for many years now and she even helped me out once at an event.  One of Jessica's maid of honors is the daughter of a dear friend of mine.  With that being said when I heard Jessica had gotten engaged I was truly hoping I would get to photograph her wedding and guess what I had the honor!!  It was a perfect day and I mean perfect!  There needs to be a shout out to Rustlers Rooste because they did a fantastic job!!  I felt so honored to be there photographing Jessica and Nathans wedding.  I teared up several times. Both families are so kind and welcoming which made the event even more special!  Here is how Jessica and Nathan met in their own words.

It took awhile for Nathan and I to actually meet each other. Nathan had noticed me at a volleyball game and tried messaging me through Facebook. I was very friendly, having a short conversation with him but really not knowing who he was. A lot of people were telling me about him, how great of a guy he was and I needed to meet him.
A couple weeks later, I was playing in a faculty vs students slow pitch game at school, and Nathan just happen to fill in a spot on the faculties team. They annouced his name as he came up to bat, which caught my attention. He just happened to hit a home run. I was playing short stop so as he ran by me I was kind of sneaking a peak at him.  (I need to thank whoever captured this moment above!)  Let's just say that evening, I wrote him back on Facebook, gave each other our numbers, and 3 years later we are getting married!

Ahh Stella

Image
When you get an email from the sister of a past pride asking if you could take pictures of her 6 month old baby girl, you say sure! When she ask you if you can meet at her sister-in-laws house to take the picture because she has a "fun house" you reply yes. Then you show up and see this beautiful baby girl and this incredibly decorated shabby chic house, you burst with excitement inside.. That is just what happened. Elaine emailed me to see if I could take pictures of Stella and asked if we could meet at her sister-in-laws house. Well, you can see for yourself that Stella is beautiful and the house was a photographer's dream. Elaine had all her own idea's for Miss Stella. We had so much fun and Stella was a trooper to say the least. I loved how Stella would smile at her mommy over and over again. She is truly a happy baby. This shoot inspired me to convert some of my office into a studio. I called my friend Nancy after the shoot and was blabbing away on how much fun

~George and Catherine~

I met Catherine just about a month before her wedding and truly liked her instantly. When we met she came alone and was so calm about her wedding and what she was looking for. I was pleased she booked me and looked forward to working with her and meeting George. When I got to Catherine's house she was again very calm and taking her time getting ready. That is when I met George for the first time, he to was very calm taking his time getting ready. The wedding was very simple, two people in love getting married. Once the I do's were said the rest of the afternoon looked like the next few images. Giddy, smile's, more smiles of joy. I loved watching them and would get caught up in the moment. Had to remind myself to take pictures:-) Catherine looked so beautiful, very classy and George so handsome, movie star couple status I would say. Again, more smiles, giggles and glances. It was so special to watch, I mean to take pictures of.;-) To look over the pictures one would not noti
