Joel & Stacie and a few of my favorite things

Every once in a while, wedding photography becomes a job, just like everything else (shocking, I know). :) Then along come couples like Joel and Stacie... There were many times throughout the day where I thought to myself, "that is one of my favorite things about weddings".

I liked Joel and Stacie right away. Down to earth and sincerely interested in other people, even though they are completely into each other. Joel is so attentive to Stacie and makes her so happy. Stacie is sweet and laid back as can be. That would be enough right there, but there's more! A few of my favorite things...

1). A FUN wedding party. This is at the rehearsal dinner.
Joel and many of the wedding party played football together, hence the football theme.2). Awesome wedding shoes.
3). Sweet "first meetings"...
Did I mention the fun bridal party?
4). Cool churches with big stained glasses.

5). Great venues! If anyone is getting married in the Goshen area, check out the Spohn ballroom. Just beautiful.
6). Some couples dance their first dance and then barely see each other throughout the rest of the evening. Not so with Joel and Stacie. They hardly left each others side, having so much fun together. Another one of my favorite things.
7). Marvelous get-aways. This picture might be might be my desktop right now. I love it that much. (is that weird?)
Thank you so much Joel and Stacie. I and my fantastic assistant, Christine, had such a good time. I pray that your lives together are blessed as you bring so much life and joy to everyone around you!
