I am so happy to show off the photographs of this wonderful couple as they made their vows. The laughter between them, the love in the way they look at each other… it makes me proud to be a wedding photographer and it restores my faith in humanity. LOVE FTW! I’m privileged to help you join in on their wedding day.

…The excitement was palatable as the groom and groomsman set up the chairs for the ceremony.

We waited with baited breath (especially Ian!) As the final gorgeous woman stepped down over the sandy hill.

Ian and Jen had decided to include a symbolic “Foot washing” in their ceremony. This practice, taken from the Bible, signifies the desire to humbly put others ahead of yourself. (in the original Biblical reference, Jesus washed the feet of his disciples. In that time, it was considered a part of hospitality to have guest’s feet washed when they arrive at your home, since sandals and old dusty roads = dirty feet- but it was usually considered a ‘lowly’ job for a slave. By washing the feet of his disciples, Jesus demonstrated that love and humility should take the place of ego) It has beautiful significance for a marriage, where respect and love are the lifeblood of happiness.
