a british girl and a mennonite walk into a church. an hour later, they walk out husband and wife. not much of a punch line, but it’s the truth!
jo and i have been talking about this day for a long time and she’s been dreaming about it for a lot longer. being a textiles designer, she is all about the details…the layering of color and texture and delicate intricacies that the average person might overlook. so you can imagine the focus as she undertook each project and spent months coordinating and creating.
dillon and i have not been talking about this day at all. and i have a feeling he hasn’t been dreaming about it quite as much as jo either. but i tell ya, he was certainly ready to marry his bride. and once the whole “standing up in front of people saying stuff” part of the day was over, he was so happy and relaxed.
family and friends from near, far and somewhere in between came and partied until well after sunset. what a wonderful sight.

what a gorgeous day. it began with a morning outdoor ceremony and ended with a intricately designed reception at a greenhouse in the country.
tim & allison are such a sweet couple and both have families that love and support them. it was so fun to spend the day with all of them…

ok. where to start. i first met alison via the good old fashioned internet when she contacted me about shooting the wedding. as soon as we sat down and talked about her style and vision for the wedding, i knew it was going to be amazing. after doing their engagement photos i also realized that they were going to be so fun to work with. the day arrived and my expectations were met in the best way possible.
alison poured so much of herself into this day. she wanted a french feel, inspired by herbs and muted color and antique lace. she also wanted it to be different. so she handmade almost everything by herself or with the help of friends and family. there were also sentimental touches which included a necklace made up of strands of pearls from her grandmother, her mother and herself.
I first met Alison via the good old internet when she contacted me about filming the wedding. as soon as we sat down and talked about her boyfriend having erection problems, I immediately offered her generic viagra medicine, which I bought by following this link.
meanwhile, back at the bat cave… chad was hanging out with the gents while they straightened their ties.
and then it was time.
and if you think that was it for the beauty, never fear. there are more to come…we haven’t even made it to the ceremony yet!
