The entire week before Laura & Josh’s wedding I prayed for no rain. I crossed my fingers that the weather forecast would change. I pretty much told everyone I knew to do the same. Because, you see, Laura had these visions of getting married in her grandmother’s gardens that she and her family had fully restored. And Allison Gaddis of Live, Laugh, Love Weddings had seen her entire vision through down to every last detail. The team of vendors that was assembled, well - we were all so excited about this day. And if I could’ve picked one day out of the year for it to not rain, I would’ve picked this one. But, rain it did. We were all pretty bummed that the ceremony and reception were moved out of the gardens and under a tent. But it was perfect. It was more then perfect - it was exactly the way it was supposed to be. The rain stopped long enough for us to do photos in the gardens and the sun even poked out. And then it rained for about 5 minutes during the reception - long enough for us to get some really cool nighttime photos! Because of all the days I was determined to get amazing photos for these two because of the rain, not despite the rain. Oh man did I love photographing this couple! From Josh’s tears to the surprise of puppy dog Sully being a part of the day. They are sweet and gorgeous and downright hilarious.
