Mark & Michelle dreamt up a laid back and fun backyard wedding. They didn’t want the time restraints or rules of more traditional venue so they opted to do their wedding on Mark’s family property. To say it was perfect for them would be an understatement. Their families came together to create a beautiful location for them to celebrate their marriage. Mother nature decided to make things exciting with a little rain but it was nothing a few umbrellas, a big tent, and this down-for-anything bunch couldn’t handle!
Michelle got ready in Mark’s childhood home. She made such a pretty bride.
Oh, hey gorgeous!
The boys spent their getting ready time shooting guns…real and fake LOL! Fitting for this group comprised of nearly half police officers and Veterans.
Loved this beautiful altar provided by their coordinator with A&M Events & Rentals.
The rain had everyone ducking for cover :P
There was a perfect little break between 2 storm cells and we were able to do all their photos outside! I was one happy photographer. And please tell me WHO looks THAT good after being rained on?! You guys are awesome.
Elijah the ladykiller!
Best cupcakes EVER, thanks to CupKay’s Cakery!
Sweetest dances. Bet you can barely tell that the one on the right is actually Michelle’s Dad :)
When Mark & Michelle announced that Mark had officially adopted Elijah, Elijah wanted to get on the mic himself to tell everyone his new last name. It was the sweetest, most heart-melting thing ever!
These action shots were just way too hilarious not to share!
It’s an honor to be part of your lives as not only your photographer but your friend! We were thrilled to document your backyard wedding and we wish you three many years of happiness to come!
