hey friends, i'm katelyn

We had never met and that always makes me a little nervous when shooting a wedding.  However, Ruth and I have mutual friends and it didn’t take long for me to realize that she was such an awesome girl! Usually there are some nerves involved on the big day.  Butterflies start to come an hour before the ceremony and brides start pacing.  Ruth wasn’t nervous, she wasn’t anxious, she just repeated over and over “Oh! This is SO EXCITING!” … “I’m SO EXCITED!”.  As she should be.  She repeated those words when she had her makeup done, when she watched her best friends zip up their classy J crew dresses and when her bridesmaids began lacing up the back of her dress.  It was so exciting and even though I have been a part of this experience so many times, the excitement never EVER gets old!

Adam entered the church, smiling at everyone and anxiously anticipating his bride to walk down the aisle. I love those moments.  Those split seconds between the last bridesmaid walking down the aisle and the bride entering for the for the first time can seem like an eternity! It’s beautiful.  Adam glowed as Ruth held her dad’s arm and made her way down the aisle.  She  was absolutely stunning.  Their ceremony was totally centered around praising our Lord and Savior for being so good to us.  They laughed uncontrollably, cried, sang and rejoiced with all of their family and friends as they started their new life together!

Isn’t she gorgeous?!
