Love, scrolling marquee belt buckles, Michael Jackson moves and just a smidge more.....

I had the very happy honor of spending Saturday with Jaclyn and Ryan - a beautiful young couple who were ready to profess their love and commitment in front of family and friends.  The day was hot - and I mean 100 degrees hot - but the sky was a brilliant blue, the church was decorated in fall colors (and air conditioned) and this couple and their family and friends came to celebrate this loving union from start to finish. 

More so, however, is that by the time the ceremony started, I felt like I knew these people!    Ryan and Jaclyn, of course - cross country runners in high school and college, they actually met during a race.  Ryan's best friend, Bugs - great nickname - who confessed during the toast that he was not handing Ryan over to Jaclyn, that he instead was gaining a friend in her, Phil - the tall guy (I'm sure you'll spot him in the photos) who has an absolutely cutting sense of humor...Jaclyn's errant matron of honor, Annette, who routinely forgot her duties when it came to the train of Jaclyn's gown, Denise, Jaclyn's college roommate who sings with amazing purity .....Jaclyn's brother, Keith, usher extraordinaire from whom I forgot to obtain a model release, so can not show him in any of these photos (ha ha!!) , and adorably scuffed ring bearer, Trae, who loves both Spongebob and Michael Jackson dance moves.  The groomsmen all sported electronic belt buckles which scrolled messages across the red face....interesting messages, you can be sure.

Thank you to Jaclyn and Ryan for choosing me to document your special day - I hope you enjoy your sneak peek - and there are MANY more to come in the full gallery.

And to all the bridal party, to the left, please, just a smidge.
