Earlier this summer I was privileged to shoot the wedding of a good friend in Columbia.  Jeremy and I served together in the trenches of a local college town coffee shop several years ago.  If you’ve ever worked food service, you know the stress it can produce and how it can get pretty raw.  Those were wonderful years, but Jeremy and I certainly saw plenty of “raw” in each other.  But it was a great experience.  I’ve learned so much from Jeremy and I’ve come to respect him deeply.  He’s a great friend.  So, I was so excited to get to a chance to be with Jeremy on one of his happiest days.  I’ve had several chances to be a part of his families events, including his younger brothers wedding, and their family is quite dear to me.   I was honored to be a part of it.  Ashley and I couldn’t be happier that Jeremy found Erin and we’re so excited for the both of them.  And Erin, make sure to call him “Bear”, but don’t let him be one.  ;)

Here are  a few of my favorite photos from the weekend:Ashley’s photo below:Ashley’s photo below:Ashley’s photo below::

Many congratulations Jeremy & Erin!!

Our good friends in Columbia Chad and Jill were married at the Tiger Hotel in Columbia.  I’ve been close, but I don’t know if I’ve ever teared up so much at a wedding.  It was an incredibly beautiful and heartfelt ceremony.  When Jill’s father got up to speak to the both of them I’m not sure if anyone wasn’t crying.  :)  We were so glad and honored to have seen their relationship grow and to be a part of their wedding.

It’s difficult not to be biased when you know and love the subjects, but here are a few of my favorites from the day:
