Yesterday, I, along with Kayse, had the pleasure of photographing the Bauder wedding. It was absolutely beautiful. Our bride, Lene’, was gorgeous and her handsome hubby, Derrick, was so proud. You could see the love between these two.
The reception was held at a beautiful old Shaker home place. All I can say is WOW!!! It was a stunning backdrop for family and friends to gather, eat, dance, and celebrate the beginning to a happily ever after. Our princess married her prince. Their love goes “to infinity and beyond.”

“Love is patient. Love is kind. It does not envy. It does not boast. It is not proud. It is not rude. It is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered. It keeps no record of wrong doing. It does not delight in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It always protects, trusts, hopes, perseveres.” –1 Corinthians 13

 As I looked out at the blue sky, all I could think of was the song, What a Beautiful Day, by Chris Cagle. It is an upbeat love song about meeting THE ONE  and counting the day until you get married and beyond. Well, on Saturday, May 29, 2010, Patrick and Crystal did just that.

Back in March, I had the pleasure of capturing this young love during their engagement session. They were so sweet and  just radiated with affection, kindness, and love for one another. It was refreshing to witness.

I was honored to be asked to be a part of their wedding in such a special way. I am a cousin of the groom. My wedding partner and, more importantly, friend, Kayse, is a cousin to the bride. So, this was her gig. lol! I was the helper. Here are just a few of the wonderful images I was able to capture. As I edit the whole set, I’m sure I will be adding to my facebook page. Be sure to keep a lookout. With a wedding party this genetically gifted, you can’t help but to share.
