This past weekend we had the privilege to travel to Greenville, North Carolina for Tammy and Marcus’ wedding. This wedding was a special event for us personally because of our connection with Tammy. Her sister, Carrie, married one of my college roommates, Ryan, and they are dear friends of ours. Emotions ran high throughout the day because Ryan, Carrie, and their two precious little girls moved to Japan just days after the ceremony. I also had the opportunity to have my other college roommate, Ish, drive down from VA to be my assistant for the day. Ish is a wedding videographer in Lynchburg, VA. It was great to have another creative mind the the team and see him transition into still photography for the day.
We arrived early on Friday to make time for a carefree engagement session. It was the perfect time to get all of Tammy & Marcus’ jitters out before the big day. Then, we were off to the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner.
On Saturday we had a slight change of plans when we were unable to travel to an additional location for the bridal portraits due to time limitations, so I decided to take a quick walk around the church to see if there would be any suitable locations for a few outdoor shots. As I turned the corner to the back of the church, I was thrilled to see a dramatic, large field filled with yellow wild flowers. We wound up spending most to our allotted time with Tammy in the natural beauty of the field behind the church. I could not have asked for a more charming location for pictures.
Tammy was graceful and composed; she took every moment in and truly enjoyed her wedding day.
Marcus was in his element with his groomsmen!
Let me introduce you to Ryan… need I say more? 🙂
Congratulations Tammy & Marcus on your precious new marriage! And many blessings to Ryan & Carrie. We know you will make a lovely new home in Japan and hope for many exciting adventures for your family there!
