Stacey and Adam are so freaking adorable together (see their engagement session for further proof), it’s just so fun to see. Adam is definitely the emotional one of the two but I have to say, I have more grooms that cry than brides. Probably because they don’t have to worry about all that makeup they spent hours getting put on right? Anyways, the day was full of joy and tears and just celebrating the union of two perfect people that are meant to be together.

My favorite part about this day was all of the time I had to play with the couple for portraits! Now I have to admit, when I rolled into Damasucs, I turned to my assistant and said CRAP!!! I don’t know where to shoot!!! However then things started catching my eye and what started out as one neat building lead to another… and another! The best part? Almost all the neat places I saw? They had some sort of small part in Stacey & Adam’s relationship! This neat building I saw was where Stacey used to work and Adam went to ask her out on their first date, a random sign I saw was WHERE they went on their first date and so forth – how cool is that??

After their first look and all the pictures they decided to get married – and Adam still had a tear or two to be had. See this proves that seeing each other beforehand doesn’t take away from the ceremony at all! Just in case you were thinking about it 😉 It was all finished up with a fun party with lots of dancing to end the night.

Thank you both for allowing me to be a part of your magical day!

Vendors I was honored to work with include:
Cake Artist: Lindsey E. (Friend of the Family)
Ceremony: Damascus Friends Church
DJ: Scott Libb
Florist: Judy Wheeler
Reception/Catering: Talloaks Banquet Center

To get married, you have to have a dress and what a beautiful dress Stacey chose!!

Then you have to have shoes, which to me are definitely second on the list!!! Stacey was smart and broke them in before the big day!

Then the rings!

Oh yeah there’s one element to the wedding I forgot, THE GROOM!! Here he is waiting for his first look of his beautimous bride.

I think these are good tears! He was so stunned with how amazing Stacey looked.

These guys were a breeze to work with!

The girls came up with this pose on their own, I have to say I loved it!

This one was all me but I have to say they rocked it out really well. They had some awesome shoes that needed showing off!!

Who KNEW all of these cool places were merely steps from the church? Shows what happens when you go exploring!

When I saw this schoolhouse, I was jumping up and down. I wish I were kidding but I am not. Isn’t this so COOL??? They were also game for anything I asked them to do, SCORE!

I saw this sign and luckily the groom’s father came along to do some grunt work for me, he righted the sign and I had the couple strut by it… then found out they went here during their first date! How perfect!

The ceremony was beautiful and so perfectly drawn around Stacey and Adam. As you can see, Adam was a bit emotional during the ceremony… which is a good thing. 🙂

This brother and sister duo NAILED “The Prayer” like I’ve never heard before, they even kicked the Celine Dion version out of the park. I had goosebumps they were that amazing.

The Kiss… pretty self-explanatory right?

The maid of honor gives her toast to her sister which is always great with a few laughs!

While I always get the standard shots of the first dance, I love to get the shots of the hands during the dance and this is by far one of my favorite hand shots I’ve got from the first dance ever 🙂
