I feel so blessed to know Margaret and Derrick.  The first time I met them I knew they were honest, genuine and really in love with one another.  Before the ceremony Margaret was so nervous to see her groom, or maybe to walk in front everyone, but I could see on her face when here eyes locked with Derricks that the nerves ran dry and she was ready to marry the man of her dreams. The decor at the reception was impeccable, with Margaret’s yellow and green theme with plentiful hydrangeas, and daisies. It all seemed so peaceful and relaxing, with a twist of fun, perfect for the bride and grooms personality.

The Maid of Honor, Amy’s, little flower girls were adorable.

The ceremony was beautiful and traditional – and very personal.

I think Margaret grinned at Derrick during the entire ceremony.

I just loved this cake topper – Never seen one like it and it tied the whole wedding decor in nicely.

Of course a Texas topper on the Groom’s cake made from chocolate…mmmm

Margaret had special touches everywhere around the reception. This vintage gown, originally worn my her grandmother, grandmother’s, Margaret Roper,  greeted all the guests as the walked into the reception. Also on the tables were old photographs of all the married couples in their family.

Pam Emmert, of Simply Elegant, and Laurie Kriegel did such a wonderful job creating the reception. Pam and Laurie were amazing to work with and so helpful. Thank you ladies!!

The first dance.

Congratulations you two! I wish you a lifetime of happiness! Thank you for letting me be a part of your day!

Standing with his back to the church, David was a ball of nerves. His smile wide and his eyes watering as he waited for his future wife to walk up behind him.  Kaci and David met in high school and have been together ever since. I think she told me 7 years.  They went to college – created a wonderful life for themselves and when the time was right David proposed and Kaci accepted.  They truly balance one another out and have a love for each other that you could see for miles. After their first look I could actually see the nerves and tension in each of them escape. That’s what they do for one another – calm the nerves knowing that they find comfort in each other’s love.

Kaci and David, thank you so much for including me in your day. Your families created the most beautiful wedding for the two of you and your day could not have been more special and fun!

Kaci is an outdoors kind of gal – so you can see throughout the wedding they incorporated what they love to do.

one of my favorites – this is the driveway of her parent’s home.

Kaci’s Dad seeing her for the first time.

Their first look

This moment was just for them. No one watching – just a pure and emotional moment for them to see one another embrace and look in the eyes of their true love.

The windows above the cake are from her grandmothers home.

This is also a special ladder coming from their grandma.

Her Grandparents cake table.

Kaci’s Grandparents – they were also celebrating their 60th wedding anniversary. Congratulations to them!

They had their own cake table and also ‘cut the cake’ once more!

not really sure…….haha

I love this exit picture – it was super windy and my light stand blew over — but I still like the shot anyway!
