Ben and Amy’s big day was the last wedding of 2015 and I could not have asked for a sweeter couple to end the season with. I have LOVED getting to know these two on their journey to the alter. They are goofy, incredibly easy to work with, and effortlessly in love. I love that Amy put her complete trust in me to create their wedding day timeline because we were able to capture so many portraits throughout the day. Even though these two had the earliest sunset of the year, they received double the amount of pictures because she gave us full reigns.
What I love most about Ben and Amy is their passion for Jesus. They full heartily serve Him in every aspect of their life. It’s evident that He is the ultimate foundation within their relationship. These two were saving their kiss for their wedding day and after their first look we expected them to just go at it. However, after the initial embrace the first thing they did was grab hands, pray, and praise God. Their ceremony took place during golden hour and it was magical! They sang worship music, humbly washed each others feet, and they wrote personalized vows that had their guests in tears. I loved that it was at a golf course because the sermon was so beautiful and it was a great way to witness to the random golfers that were sprinkled around the venue.
These two are a true testament of love and what it’s like to faithfully serve God within a relationship. It was a honor to be able to capture their big day and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for them as husband and wife in 2016. Congrats Ben and Amy!

Off to the reception!
I love the shoe game! The DJ asks a series of questions and the couple holds up their answer with the groom or bride shoe.
An example might be, “Who is a better cook?” It’s fun for the guests and great way to show off your cute shoes.
So many heartfelt toasts!
First dance as husband and wife!
Father/Daughter dance!

I love when couples dance with their guests. It always keeps the dance floor packed!
Lucky me to photograph this wedding and run into 4 of my other brides. Blessed by these women and this job!
The perfect ending to a perfect day!
