Caleb and Abby

Congratulations to Caleb and Abby! Caleb is my cousin and we have enjoyed many years at summer camp together, but apparently Caleb enjoyed camp for other reasons! ;) His and Abby's relationship blossomed there at Little Eden, tying our family forever to camp. Abby is a sweetheart and we welcome her into the family. She makes a great addition.

The evening before the wedding, I caught Abby and Caleb on a stroll through the amazing gardens at the house where Caleb grew up, which was also our photo site. Her dress was gorgeous. Love the lace overlay.So pretty! At Abby's house...
This was the ceremony site, a quaint little church in a tiny little town in Ohio.

Love the feel of this one.
This place was just beautiful everywhere you looked.
This was their idea... so cute!
Also love the feel of this one.
All the guys wore suspenders and acquired a hat and glasses through a different story, but I laughed through this whole shoot! One last image...Very cool. Its funny how downtown-big-city this looks when you know how small this town actually is.
Congratulations and all the best to you!

This marraige will love by serving...

I met Shawn and Lacey this spring and we quickly became friends. The thing that struck me about Lacey is how gracious she is, and Shawn for how well he cares for her and loves her. The way they interact is so sweet, very caring and serving. And I only enjoyed them and their family and friends more as we spent more time together. I believe I understand a little bit more about love through you two.

This is the uptown little spot in Goshen where she got her hair done the morning of the wedding. Lacey and I actually met through her talented hair dresser and my friend, Bekah. Definitely check out the Shoo-be-doo in downtown Goshen if you are looking for a salon in that area!Her flowers.
Once again, it was not the sunniest or warmest of days, but they graciously agreed to go to a nearby park. This was one of our first shots.

Yes, we did the jump! I thought they did a marvelous job.
Having fun with a little chapel there at the park.
If you look close you can probably see raindrops coming down. But this was worth it!
My favorite part of the whole day was during the ceremony. They chose to wash each other's feet before the whole congretation as their first act of service as a married couple. The pastor prefaced it with, "This marraige will love by serving". It was a beautiful picture of Christ and His church and the selfless love that He gives.
Its probably not necessary to add remarks here, but this could have been the moment that tears started running down my cheeks.
My other favorite moment was walking into the reception and seeing this candy station. You never outgrow the candy store!
More reception details.
Congratulations Shawn and Lacey. And thank you.
