I “inherited” Abbie and Justin from Tyler, when he was already booked for their wedding date, and I am so glad that I did.  I have truly come to love them over our time together this year.  They are the warmest, most hospitable people, and have definitely made me feel like a friend.  I got to know Abbie’s parents a bit over the year as well, and was so touched by their family’s closeness.  The way Abbie feels about her parents reminds me about how I feel about mine.  I loved seeing that in them.

I could tell you many things about the wedding day, but I think what will always stick in my memory about it the most was what a fun party it was!  Jewel and I still talk about it.  I woke up the next morning singing “your love, your love, your love…is my drug” .

I’ll start off with my favorite image from the day.  It was one of those beautiful moments when three disjointed pieces end up converging in the viewfinder for a moment in time…in this case, Abbie and Justin dance framed by Abbie’s parents, and her brother and his fiance (who will be married in October).  Can’t wait to see you all tonight!

Abbie’s Uncle had a thing for her two tallest bridesmaids, he called them the Twin Towers.  They surprised him with a little dance…
