Mr. & Mrs. Beatty

No matter how much you prepare and plan for your wedding day, inevitably there will be surprises and challenges; I've yet to photograph a wedding that this has not been true for.  What's important, and very telling of a relationship, is how a couple faces those challenges together to make the best of their day.  You can plan your perfect life together but it too will have unexpected surprises and upsets in store for you.  Facing those together, as a team, finding comfort in one another, and focusing on all the wonderful in your life will see two people through a lasting marriage.  If Sam and Madison can go through their lives together facing challenges the way they gracefully did so on their wedding day, they are so so set!

Mother nature has a mind of her own and on this special day, she decided to bless this couple with all the luck she could muster.  In the form of rain.  Rather than letting it phase these two, or their family and friends, everyone made the best of the day and the happiness and joy was radiant; it was all the sunshine they needed.  The cloudy skies made for some of the BEST lighting I've ever photographed in and I am so excited to share this preview with you.  Add in that the bride wore both her Mother and Grandmother's dresses, an abundance of personal touches and a surprise fire performance and this wedding was just fabulous!  Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Beatty.  I know you two will weather any storm together and still look amazing doing so!

Look at this circle, like a ring, it has no beginning and no end.
