I couldn't be more excited about how my family is expanding! Today, we welcomed in a new sister on my husband’s side of the family. It was an amazing day - Nick's twin brother Nate married the girl of his dreams, Lori.
My best friend Tressa was the lead photographer, but I helped her out with some pictures before the ceremony. It's a lot of work being on both sides of the camera and in front of the camera, but we made it work {thank you Tre!}.
The day was raining off and on, but it didn't stop Nate and Lori from an unforgettable wedding. Our day started with mimosas and getting ready. The detail shots are always nice to take right away when the bride and groom aren't going to notice them missing {rings, shoes, locations, etc}. Once the posed shots started, it was a little hectic, but again what wedding isn't hectic and chaotic during the set picture time?
Usually Nate is pretty laid back and doesn't get too nervous, but taking his "before" pictures was unforgettable. He was sweaty, nervous, and excited - something that I didn't expect to see from him. I guess I thought he would be calm and collected, but I was completely surprised. Once all of the groomsmen came into the shots, the pictures started to get crazy! After my wedding, I guess since it was the same group of guys, I knew what crazies I was dealing with ;] It didn't surprise me when they decided to start climbing the silos. Let's just say that the pictures speak for how fun these guys are and what an amazing day it honestly was.
Surrounded by family and friends, the two became one. My little sister sang during the ceremony I'll Stand By You, and it was beautiful. Yet another reason to reel me into tears during the ceremony.
Congratulations Nate and Lori! I love you guys and couldn't be more excited for your long happy life together.
