the day started off rainy. it had been gloomy all week, so why wouldn’t it be gloomy the morning of the wedding? but, i assured mindy all morning that it will.not.rain and everything.will.be.perfect. darnit. and wouldn’t you know it? the second we stepped outside for portraits, the sun actually made its presence.

i feel that most weddings i do, i walk away (or rather, sit at my computer) with a “theme” for the day. mindy and jeff’s theme was “stolen looks”. i captured so many “bet you didn’t think i was looking” looks and that truly makes me happy. these two are such a down-to-earth, good couple. they’re good people. the second i stepped into mindy’s mom house for prep photos (which, let’s face it, always feels a little awkward for a photographer), i was welcomed, offered a cocktail and was told to feel at home. knowing mindy, i wouldn’t expect any less from her family.

mindy and jeff, thank you so much for letting me capture your day. i thoroughly enjoyed spending the day not only with you, but with your families. all my love to you two!

how stinking cute are these boys? they were total camera hams.
