Chris and Tawnee




Oh my, I have been so excited to post Chris and Tawnee's big day for you guys!
This was a special wedding for me to get to photograph as I have known these two for quite a while. I can remember staying in cabins and talking about boys with Tawnee and long car rides teasing Chris about never having a girlfriend. Who would have ever thought that the person they were each looking for was right under their noses. I am so incredibly happy for Chris and Tawnee. The love and joy they have in each other is visible and beautiful to see!

The day started off with Tawnee getting dolled up to walk down the aisle. 








All of the lovely and delicate details










It was time to get into the dress!











We were able to grab a couple photos of the beautiful bride in the house before it was time to take off!





Chris was just finishing up getting ready a the church as I got there to take his photos with his groomsmen!





After all the goofing around (or getting ready, whatever you want to call it) we went out to take their photos












After we were done, and the guys were hid away, we started on Tawnee and the bridesmaids portraits











Before the ceremony began guests were welcomed in, Tawnee read a letter that Chris had written for her and both bride and groom were prayed over. 









It's finally time! 









Tawnee looked stunning coming down the aisle and had nearly everyone in tears, including her mom















The bride and groom take a moment after the wedding to celebrate and also examine their new rings! 


Next up is family and wedding party portraits!











 Now it was my time alone with Chris and Tawnee, a short drive on the highway and we were ready to start their pictures




















Time to head back to the reception site for toasts, cake, a sweet first dance and the bouquet and garter toss!

















The newlyweds were sent on their way with a sparkler exit!







Congratulations Chris and Tawnee!!!
