It was a beautiful Friday evening. As the guests filled the church I sat with the bride as she started her makeup seated in her sundress and veil... hair perfectly curled. She was stunning and mysteriously calm. As if she had a secret only she knew. Maybe her secret was something as simple as the security she has in her love of the lord and the love for the man she will soon call her husband.

This couple struck my heart from day one. They sat in my office and spoke of the big day with a different kind of enthusiasm than I usually see. I still can't explain it to this day, but it was amazing. They are so in love. So respectful. Such the perfect example of what, if there is such a thing, what a soul mate should look like.

The church was dipped in blues and plums with only the effects of lighting and a simple alter backdrop allowing only those on the stage to be just that... center stage. An 18 member bridal party arched around the couple as they exchanged vows they wrote. I could hear the tears in the air.

At their conclusion Audrey was passed the microphone and belted out a song to Corey that caused me to constantly remind myself to keep taking pictures. The woman in the pew next to where I was kneeling asked if I needed a Kleenex. She was breathtaking. And it was a complete surprise to her new husband choreographed solely by the bride herself.

Guests joined the bride and groom for a penthouse floor reception as the sun quietly set to a golden glow. The food was delicious, cake was funky and fun, and the dancing was hysterical! Michael Jacksons Thriller played as guests mimic the moves of the King of Pop...

Thank you Audrey and Corey for being a "dream" client whose love story was a honor to experience.
