“So when I lose my way, find me
when I loose loves chains, bind me
at the end of all my faith
til the end of all my days
when I forget my name… remind me.”
-Andrew Peterson
Natalie got ready at her parents house, and I love this shot that Joseph got of her getting ready with her girls! the next 4 photos are all his: 
then we headed over to the church to round up the gentlemen… 
just another reason why having a second photographer is awesome, this is an angle that I never get when I’m the only one there! love how happy Pat was to see Natalie come down that aisle :)
one of the sweetest moments of the day was when Natalie’s father gave her a kiss on the cheek and placed her hands in Pat’s:
thanks to Joseph for grabbing these next two photos! I never get to see the couples face as they light the unity candle or take communion or anything like that, and honestly I didn’t even see him sneak up front to take these. Needless to say, these were a very pleasant surprise when I was culling through the images :) 
Married!! 
who says you can’t have snow in may?! i’m not even sure what this stuff was, but it was EVERYwhere! 
I could tell right away that one of things Natalie was most excited about was having her Grandfather’s gorgeous purple antique car there for the day. I know it was a sweet reminder for her of special memories with him, and I’m SO excited to share all of these portraits with you! I could have done portraits of Pat and Natalie in front of that car ALL. DAY. LONG. 
one of my faaaavorites :) love those shoes, Natalie!
love this angle that Joseph saw, definitely another favorite portrait from their day! 
Joseph’s photo on the left, mine on the right: 
i’m thinking this next photo would make an excellent canvas on their wall…. yes?? :)
let me tell ya, Pat and Natalie have some awesome friends! these guys kept the party going all night long! :) 
the sign by their cake says “Our cake topper was first used at the wedding of Natalie’s grandparents, Jess and Judie Miller on October 4, 1958.” it was one of my favorite details of their day :)
LOVE this from the end of their first dance :) 
Natalie and her dad pulled out all kinds of special effects during their dance :) 
then it was officially party time! they had a great swing band play throughout the evening, which got everyone out of their chairs and onto the dance floor! 
there was ZERO hesitation here, once that cake was sliced it went IMMEDIATELY into the other persons face :) 
a little garter/bouquet toss fun… 
thanks again for letting Joseph and I be a part of your day!! it was truly an honor! :)
