Deedra and Michael Married!

I love fall weddings...the crisp air, the gorgeous colors, it's all so romantic! Deedra and Michael were married October 2nd at a family member's home on the edge of town.

A younger sister and two friends were Deedra's bridesmaids and they all looked beautiful!


I love it when the couple sets aside time for a first look! It is a sure way to end up with awesome formals (pictures of the bride and groom) and it gives the couple time before all the chaos to get lost in the moment of seeing each other. This day, it was especially fortunate that the couple chose to see each other early because after the ceremony there was barely enough time for family pictures before the lighting was gone.
















Michael had his brothers be his groomsmen. Matthew was the best man and he gave the most sincere and heartfelt toast to his older brother--I was so impressed!






Thanks to Michael's mom, Caryn, for all her help with everything!


A huge thank you to Tamara Lillie who helped us shoot this wedding (I mostly waddled around and tried to keep up!). This is her shot of the bride and it is absolutely my fave!




This shot has Jer's name written all over it! I love the sunset!


Congratulations Deedra and Michael!! Best wishes for a long and happy life together!
