Beautiful. Rena was beautiful. The weather was beautiful. The forming of a new family..... is beautiful. I had the distinct pleasure of being part of the beginning of James + Rena's new adventure.  And let me tell you, it was photo-licious, all the way! Here are some quick faves.... The gals got ready at Rena's sister's house. Here, Rena's shoes sit atop of grandmother's old dresser..... with antique photos from past generations.

Way to work it ladies! Always a photo opp, always!

A series of good ol' fashioned gorgeousness. I love these next three images....

On to the church! This was the second time I've had the opportunity to photograph at this church, and it is every bit as incredible in person as it appears in photos.

These next two are my FAVE FAVES.... as in, my favorites of all my favorites! Boo-ya! Look at that sky! And that vogue glam! Are you serious!?!?

More church awesomeness... .from the inside....

Vintage park glam.....

Which naturally wouldn't be complete if the boys didn't do something in front of all those urinals.... (did I just include the world urinals on my blog!?)

James, Rena and Miss Ella make three!

Their reception included incredible surprises like James singing Rena not one, but TWO songs while serenading her on guitar. Score! I tell ya, gentlemen, if you can play an instrument and can even only half-way hold a tune.... you hold in your power, the ability to seriously melt some hearts. Nicely done James! ;)

Thank you for inviting me to share such a special day with you and your families. Wishing you love and happines for many, many years! :)
