Niki & Dave 

May 16, 2014

I know I've told many of you I do not do weddings (I am still not for hire - I'll stick to my portraits for now).  But my cousin Niki twisted my arm just enough for me to try it out on hers. Her and Dave are very special to me and I was so excited to be a part of their wonderful day. Here are a few of the highlights from the day.

Shoes and bouquet all ready and waiting

The kids loved watching the window for guests to arrive

Looking so handsome

Beautiful girls

The flowers complimented their dresses so nicely.

The flower girl was a pro!

Loving message from Uncle Dave.

The vows got him!

And her too!

So happy!

After all was said and done, it was a pretty successful day! Lots of laughs, smiles, kisses, and love. They had a beautiful wedding and a beautiful day! Congratulations Niki and Dave! I am so blessed to have you in my life and I was lucky you trusted me to be such an important part of your day! 
Love you both!
