A Country Wedding

This was not only a departure from the types of weddings that I usually shoot, it was SO unique (and that's saying a lot for me, I got married on an airplane!). It was held on a farm, at the backside of the couple's property, in the most beautifully wooded area you have ever seen. Not completely shaded - but incredibly green with dappled sun everywhere. It was a coolish day but as sunny as could be, and the setting could not have been more perfect for a wedding. But it doesn't stop there - the bride rode down the aisle on her horse, led by her father! This couple enjoys showing Missouri Foxtrotters - so horses and a western theme were the rule for this small, informal affair.

It was awesome being a part of the ceremony. The surroundings (I mentioned they were beautiful, right?), the low-keyness of it all (did I just make up a word?) and most of all, the LOVE that was everywhere. Love and laughter and smiles and even the dog (who was part of the ceremony as well!) loved it. Congratulations, Teresa and Junior, and best wishes for many years of happiness!

Wow. The day. Incredible.


Wow. The setting. Kansas is beautiful in spring, isn't it?


This kid loved his sunglasses!


The horses arrive for the ceremony. This is Teresa's arabian, Samurai.




This is going down the "aisle" in style!


















Kisses everywhere! :)
