What a gift to be present at this wedding. Rich and Cathy have such a radiating love that everyone could literally “feel the love”!!

A few notables that made this union like no other…

-every guest was asked to pick a unique glass for the reception and to take it home in remembrance of the wedding. Cathy & Rich collected these glasses from garage sales, thrift stores, etc. To go with the glass, the escort card was adorned with a charm, unique to each guests interests and of course my had a camera!! (thank you!)

-they got barefoot and went in the creek for me…okay really it was to cool off…but we made some amazing pictures!

-their children made up the entire bridal party! Great job Abby, Emily, Doug and Chad, you made it to my top five favorite bridal parties EVER!! (and that’s like #1 cause I don’t have a favorite)

-iSpy was a huge hit! What a great idea!!!

-something I was not able to capture photographically but have stored in my senses…the ceremony area was peppered with lavender buds and when you walked the most heavenly scent of lavender filled the air!

-their vows were incredibly honest and open. So many people commented on how moving the vows were.

Enjoy the preview, I had a really hard time trying to narrow down images for this one!
