"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 As Brianna's dad escorted her down the aisle, the words from the verses above were hand-written on signs that led them up to where Natha

Gloria (or "Meme" to me) was one of the most spunky, ornery women I've ever met. When my Poppy first asked her out on a date, she "accidently" double-booked herself with two different young men on the same night and made them have a car race to decide with whom she'd go out.

Thanks for being so warm and welcoming, Tyler and Hope. Kristian and I love

Considering the forecast for thunderstorms, Heather was one of the most calm and collected brides. She and her bridesmaids got ready in her childhood bedroom in her parents' home, while the men played pool downstairs and Aaron waited impatiently for his bride.

Someone (or lots of someones) must have been praying

I so loved being included in Liz & Matt's wedding celebration. They're down to earth and love their country music, which I definitely appreciated ;) They got married in February, and did such a good job looking warm despite the freezing temperatures outside. Not only that, but they threw a great party, complete with beautiful, natural details (like having their guests sign a giant slice of a tree) and a super fun dance party. #wedding #weddingphotographer #williampenninn #pen
