I think that Christen and Ben<\/a> will go down as one of the most memorable weddings ever due to the crazy high temperatures that day. \u00a0Heat is the way of the land for weddings in the summer but the heat index was well over 100\u00ba that day – in fact there was even a heat advisory the day of their wedding! \u00a0To top it off, their chapel was not air conditioned! \u00a0However what I loved most was that no one complained ONCE about the heat – not a guest, not a member of the bridal party – not even the bride and groom. \u00a0Everyone was so enchanted with how much they loved one another and how lovely it was to see them get married that the rest didn’t matter. \u00a0I also love that we share a mutual love of squirrels!!!<\/p>\n

“I have been a fan of wedding photography blogs since before I even met my husband.\u00a0 So, when it came time to look for a photographer for my own wedding, I had a wish list of people I wanted to meet.\u00a0 The first, and only, photographer that we met with was Corey.\u00a0 From that initial meeting, my husband and I knew that she was the right fit for our laid back personalities.\u00a0 Her amazing portfolio of work spoke for itself.<\/em><\/p>\n

Our engagement session at the zoo helped Ben & I become less camera-shy so on our wedding day, we knew what to expect.\u00a0 I would highly recommend an engagement session to anyone on the fence.<\/em><\/p>\n

Even when weather wasn\u2019t on our side on the day of the wedding, Corey got family portraits done quickly in a non-airconditioned cathedral in 96 degree heat.\u00a0 She then managed to squeeze in outdoor photos before the rain started pouring down.\u00a0 At the reception, she captured details and moments Ben & I may not have seen first hand in the whirlwind of that day.<\/em><\/p>\n

Corey, thank you for your talent, and we look forward to having an event that will allow us to work with you again!”<\/em><\/p>\n

Corey managed to get a picture of the moment Ben stepped on my veil, ripping it out of my hair.\u00a0 We all had a good laugh about it after the ceremony.<\/em><\/p>\n

Our bridal party, dripping in sweat.\u00a0 Portraits may not be the most \u201cartistic\u201d pictures, but you\u2019ll be glad that you have them.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"guests

There was a fantastic sunset, and most of our reception photos haves glimpses of it through the windows.<\/em><\/p>\n

Exhausted, but happy at the end of the evening.<\/em><\/p>\n
