“I take you to be
my friend, my love, the father of my children and my husband.
Because of you I laugh, I smile, I dare to dream
In the presence of God, our family and friends, I promise
to be your faithful wife in sickness and in health,
in good times and in bad, and in joy as well as in sorrow. I promise
to love you unconditionally, to support you in your goals,
to honor and respect you, to laugh with you and cry with you, and
to cherish you for as long as we both shall live.”

It was the “…because of you I laugh” part that made their vows stick out in my mind. Because of you I laugh, I smile, I DARE TO DREAM. Because of you I am a better person. Because of you I am able to reach for the stars. Because of you I can kiss in the rain. Because of you I am part of a new family- our family. Because you are my best friend, and I am yours. You are mine.

Thank you Robyn and Brian for opening yourselves up to us. For being passionate, and goofy, and real, and honest, and sublimely happy all in front of our cameras. We wish you years of laughter and dreams realized.

The locket held a photo of Robyn’s father, who joined her in spirit.

A single rose was also placed in a reserved seat in her father’s memory for the ceremony…

(For the photographers: These next 5 were in the dark, lit by streetlights, handheld, using only available light and the 50mm 1.2L + 5DII)

(Ok… so I lied, the one on the right was with the 7D and Tokina 11-16mm 2.8-still handheld in the dark though.)

Robyn made that cake herself. I was in awe…

I think this is my FAVORITE ring shot ever!

Nate’s favorite…

Goodnight lovebirds…

check out Mr. Big Spender there on the right ;)

Me: Robyn, how many girls do you have again?
Robyn: Five, why?
Me: PERFECT! I’ve got an idea I want to try…

Knowles Memorial Chapel, Winter Park, Florida

Big City lights give a magical ambience to a photo. I just love it!
