I don’t even know where to begin writing about this couple and their wedding. I didn’t get to meet Mandi and Jeff ahead of time, but I did check them out on-line. I knew from my snooping that Mandi had style, but didn’t know that I was going to meet one of the cutest, most fun couples around. What an amazing day with plenty of time for portraits, relaxation and fun.
Thank you so much for selecting us to photograph your wedding. We had a fabulous time working with you.

Mandi and her girls got together at The Old Courthouse Museum for the getting ready. The room there were in had wonderful architecture and light as well as the atmosphere they created.

This was one of the best getaway cars I’ve seen. The car is Mandi’s dad’s. He purchased it new and it is all original. The houndstooth interior was amazing.

Details to bring it all together.


Getting ready.



Seeing his bride for the first time. One happy handsome groom.

The Old Courthouse Museum is a wonderful location with nooks and crannies all over that are great for photography.

Mandi has so much style and it showed throughout the wedding. Here I love the flower as a little touch in her hair.

I remember Jeff looking over my shoulder as I took this image. He commented about the image before he even saw it. While, not because I’m that good, but because Mandi is that beautiful and Jeff knows it.

Look at Jeff. Don’t you just love him. He was sweet – and o so funny. We had a great time during portraits with them both. And of course we all know I LOVE LOVE LOVE birdcage veils.


Such an emotional handoff. Gosh Mandi’s dad was so great!




One of my favorite images of the year. I wasn’t sure about the candlelight exit. I knew it would be beautiful for them, but didn’t know if I’d be able to focus with it that dark out. But my trusting skills and camera came through for this and a few more from the exit.

A bride and a wall.
