“It’s like rain on your wedding day,” sang Peter as I thought,” isn’t it ironic.”  I wasn’t sure how to photograph rain, but if you look really close at  some of the images of Peter and Charista you can actually see some of the drops. Pete, you and your groomsman are quite possibly some of my favorite set of guys that I have photographed. I could have spent another hour having you  leap and make faces at me. I thoroughly enjoyed your energy and willingness to be ridiculous…and could have filled up the whole blog post with funny pictures of you all.

Peter and Charista exchanged vows at King of Kings last Friday.  Charista’s father is the pastor and had been planning the message for months. He told us such a beautiful story of a fathers love. There is an image below of Peter and Charista standing at the alter, her Dad’s hand is raised behind them with the white cross as the focal point of the story. This image is such a strong picture of the cycle of love. The photo gives me goosebumps.

Peter and Charista, thank you so much for allowing us to be a part of your day. There were so many good things to see. While I am throwing out the thank-you’s… Peter, thanks for eating my hair products that one time. Thank you for throwing a icy snowball at my face. Thank you for study video’s in the Link, helping defy Janzow’s etiquette classes, for thinking of the troll eating the rose idea and for all the lengthy conversations about nothing of any sense. Also, thanks for letting us eat at your wedding after the whole bean’s on my dress incident the week prior. And a BIG thank you to the little boy who came back to the photo booth three times. We aren’t sure who you are….but think you are brilliant. “I’m not paranoid” (so funny).
