Andrew + Abby’s Wedding


aa_blog01

Hot summer days are good for two things: swimming in lakes and getting married. Andrew and Abby chose the latter, and they were surrounded by family and friends from all over the statesĀ  – and I think it would be safe to say the globe – as they tied the knot. Spending a portion of their lives growing up overseas in missionary families, they were soon drawn to each other through their shared experiences and love for the people of Burkina Faso.

Their wedding was a true celebration and a laid-back affair at Delta Lake Bible Camp. Abby grew up vacationing and visiting with her grandparents and family at the camp so they enjoyed their reception at a place full of memories. I joined them to document the day and here are some of the highlights:aa_blog02

the church had a huge world map conveniently located outside of the sanctuary – I thought it fitting for for world travelers like Andrew + Abby.

every bridal party has a different personality… and at this wedding everyone was up for having fun and trying something new. We did some different motion shots and I love the life they bring to the images.aa_blog10

Doesn’t Abby look gorgeous? Shooting in between the trees created texture and depth, and it was probably my favorite space at the camp to work with. I hope you enjoyed the highlights. For the full set of images head over to Andrew and Abby’s gallery, create a profile, and then log in with the couple’s last name as the password. Also, don’t forget to leave a note in a comment so that you can help Andrew and Abby earn a free enlargement. Enjoy and thanks again to Andrew and Abby for letting me document your wedding day!
