jennie + mike = MARRIED!

it was truly my privilege to shoot the wedding of jennie & mike. talk about two kind and FUN people who are completely and unmistakably in love with not only eachother, but Christ above all. their sunset wedding was no doubt a testimony of their choice to serve the Lord and His kingdom together, side by side. i knew i loved jennie & mikes love from the start, right when i heard they worked together at their church's (city of grace) youth group. youth leaders are always the bomb.com! so obviously i knew they were way cool and couldnt wait for may 15th to roll around. and it finally did! the evening was simple, classy, and relaxed... just as the couple told me it would be when we met up a couple months back. everything from jennies lace dress to mikes chuck taylors was totally unique and totally them. i had such fun observing and documenting a wedding that was perfectly customized for two awesome and easy going people. here are some shots from the evening, i plan on posting again within the next couple of days highlighting some of the unique and fun details of the wedding. for now, enjoy what you see here!
