| Chuck + Jan |

This weekend I had the pleasure of photographing the wedding of Chuck and Jan Wescott. They are about the sweetest couple ever, and both were dedicated to making their wedding a spiritual event. Jim and I joked that we came for a wedding, and a worship service broke out! I always love the photos of the flower girls, and here are a couple of cuties and their fancy fancy hair dos!

Rebecca and Julie did a wonderful job of spreading the petals. They each had Easter rabbits fully adorned in wedding gowns to snuggle.

Old. New. Borrowed.

Jan and her bridesmaids took some time for prayer and worship before the service.

Jan's flowers were really pretty. She chose fresh, bright oranges, greens and yellows to brighten up the chapel.

But they look great in sepia as well!

A bright ceremony filled with love and tender moments. Everyone cried, including me!

I cried because I love my 70-200 IS lens! Got this shot from the BALCONY!

Brandon and Amanda are thankful that their mom is happy.

Speaking of Brandon. At every wedding, one person always stands out as the coolest. Brandon is hands down the guy. He is a huge Rolling Stones fan and changed into a vintage Stones t-shirt right after the wedding. In my book, Brandon wins the "Coolest Cat at the Wedding" award. There will be a winner each week, stay tuned! In all future wedding blogs, there will be two other awards, so get ready! Other awards will be "Hottest Shoes" and "Crown Jewel Hairdo."

Honorable mention for the "Cool Cat (or dog) at the Wedding" award goes to this guy who was awfully friendly and kept guard during the ceremony.

Details, Details!

Chuck is an avid fisherman and brought his fishing gear with him to fish in the pond outside the chapel before he and Jan hooked up.

...and a good time was had by all.

When Jan began her procession down the aisle, a cheerful crowd giggled as the music accompanied her which was "Goin' to the Chapel." Pretty cool! The chapel bells filled the air to celebrate Chuck and Jan's happy union.

After the wedding, Chuck and Jan wanted to take a walk up the hill next to the chapel where stood a large green tractor. They are honeymooning in New York, so they broke out singing the theme to Green Acres! Here they shouted "NEW YORK is where I'd rather stay!!!"

Jan decided to take a rest and rock a little on the chapel porch. It was just a perfect day and I am so thankful to have been a part of it. Thank you both, Chuck and Jan, for giving me some wonderful memories, and God bless you both always!
