Josh and Anna's Wedding Day

I have know Josh since he was in 7th grade and have been good friends with his sister, Kylie, since high school, so when I was contacted to shoot Josh and Anna's wedding; I was elated! Josh and Anna's wedding was such a special wedding for me to shoot and had wonderful details throughout the day. I absolutely loved being part of their big day! Plus, it was my first wedding of 2010, what a great way to start the 2010 wedding season!!!!

Alright, this was the moment I couldn't keep my tear in! Anna and her dad were crying down the isle, and then they just looked at each other and laughed...it was such a perfect moment the second that they started laughing...all the way down the isle to her groom!
