after digging through all of my photos from alexa and reggie’s wedding day, it’s clear me there was one overarching theme: love and joy. wedding day was the first time i had met reggie, which always makes me a little nervous, but from the moment i was greeted so warmly and sincerely i fully understood why alexa was so smitten for this man and so excited to marry him.

and it’s not just reggie, these two were surrounded by loved ones who traveled near and mostly far to make sure these two had the most amazing day. it’s not hard to notice the impact these two have made on so many people–that’s kind of what happens when you both work for the government and are sort of really good at what you do. i wish both of you absolutely nothing but the best, especially on your new adventure in tampa! see you in november!

alexa and reggie’s brunch reception was held at a brand new reception venue in french lick. it just so happens to be at larry bird’s former estate. no big deal. it was beautiful and i can’t wait to shoot more weddings there!

alexa’s engagement ring was her great aunt’s and is a total showstopper.

love this. so beautiful, alexa.

cassius, keeping everyone in check.

meanwhile, up at the french lick resort, kelly was with the boys. see what i mean? joy! that shot, on the right is just perfect. thanks, kelly.

how many groomsmen does it take to tie a bowtie? apparently it takes 3, plus a dad, 3 youtube videos and a bellman. in all fairness, reggie completely knows how to tie a bowtie–sometimes you just get a really ornery one.

no offense to reggie’s brother, but i believe cassius is probably reggie’s best man.
