Heidi + Chad | The full post

14.07.2008

Here they are.. the final post of Heidi & Chad’s wedding! The wedding took place at the beautiful home of Heidi’s sister. It was held in their backyard. It was casual and very beautiful! The only attendants were Heidi’s son Connor and Chad’s daughter Ellie.

Congrats and best of luck to Heidi and Chad.. you have a beautiful family! :)

 

 

 A little details collage. I LOVE details! :)

Heidi trying to memorize her vows!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Connor and his mama!

 

 

Ellie and her daddy!

 

 

Apparently she had stage fright.

 

 

 

 

This is hilarious. The preacher had just called him by the wrong middle name.. and Ellie is picking her nose. What else could you ask for?

 

 

I LOVED his little tux!

 

 

 

 

You can just see the mischievousness in her eyes…

 

 

 

 

 I love the look on his face in this one! :)

  • Mrs.Haylee Crawford: I think that you are the best photographer i've (and my family) has ever seen and I KNOW that you are going to have a huge business one day & make bookoos of money. I've already referred you to MANY & everyone thinks you are "fabulous...and you are! EVERYBODY LOVES"" the pictures from my wedding and im so glad i chose you to do them. In my church it is soo hard to get good lighting and everybody was amazed they turned out so good! So just saying thanks and you are my new photographer for many years to come. :) (12.10.08, 05:34PM)
