So today we are going to celebrate with Anna and Justin as they start their new life together! This isn’t just another wedding for me…this one is extra special.  I’ve grown up with Anna and her family is my family.  I love them and the whole Beale family has had an enormous impact on my life! I couldn’t be more excited for Anna and Justin! Today is going to be amazing!

Tonight my whole family, Michael’s whole family and ALL of our other church friends came together for the rehearsal dinner.  I  love stuff like this! It’s like a huge reunion and I get to see people that have been a part of my life since before I can remember and our time together is ALWAYS sweet and so genuine. What a gift true friendships are!! It was an honor to capture some shots throughout the evening…. especially of the kids! Enjoy!!

Let me preface this first picture… it was HOTT! and so Jessica , Anna’s Sister and one of my bridesmaids had a jug of peach tea beside her throughout the whole practice! Typical:)

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?! Aren’t they the most gorgeous kids you’ve ever seen?! Yea, that’s our flower girl and ring bearer… no big deal:)

That’s my daddy:)

And that’s the woman in charge!

Look at this sweet old guy just hanging around.

Doesn’t she look like a lot of fun? She is:) She’s my bestest friend in the whole wide world! Love you Caroline!

Dinner was in Downtown Fredericksburg at Brock’s.  So good! Some of us even got some Carl’s ice cream afterwards!

You might as well get used to seeing her… she’s super photogenic!

Loved this one. You two are beautiful… inside and out. Sounds cheesy but it’s so true.

Welp. There I am. At least Caroline thinks I’m funny.

That has GOT to make you smile! What a cutie!

Momma and Daddy! It was their anniversary today!

Love me some Kim Kirtner:)

Yum.
