Angela and Josh were married at Mt. Moriah Lutheran Church on what had to be the windiest day of the year! The wind was so brutal, I couldn’t convince anyone to go outside for pictures before the ceremony!
Angela wore a beautiful gown from Hope’s Bridal. Hope’s customer service is over the top. She makes an appearance on the wedding day to help her brides get into their gowns. I wish I could take her to all of my weddings! She had the back of Angela’s dress laced up in no time!

Josh and Angela exchanged cards before the ceremony:

I’m in love with Angela’s gorgeous antique setting:

Angela and Josh shared a private moment together in the sanctuary for their “first look” but that didn’t make seeing each other
during the ceremony any less special…aren’t they the most stunning couple!?


I had to get a few wide angles of the church throughout the day. Mt. Moriah Lutheran church is almost 200 years old! Imagine all of
the history…the love… the weddings this church has experienced! Lutheranism originated in the 16th century when gothic architecture
was still popular. Today, many Lutheran churches share gothic features. The arched door, windows, and spires represent the gothic period.
I love the way the wind is whipping through Angela’s veil in the foreground here:


When I told the bridesmaids to throw their flowers in the air- I didn’t mean literally, but I love the way this turned out! So much fun!

Angela and her dad shared such an emotional moment during their first dance together. I was choking up as I processed these images!
I can’t say enough wonderful things about her mom and dad. Tragedy befell their family shortly after the wedding. They handled it with
such grace and strength. They made me realize that my work is meaningful and appreciated. I feel so fortunate that our paths crossed.


A bubbly exit:
