What better way to start out the summer than a wedding?
Tori and Jason's, perhaps? I can't think of much better if I do say so myself. I was working with a brand new assistant (Mandy, she's great!) and going to a brand new location (Paw Paw... never been!) so it was going to be quite the day. We actually arrived a smidge later than we were supposed to but still beat the bridal party, so we had lots of time to scope out the golf club and check out the photo locations. Soon enough, the bride and bridesmaids arrived so we could get started. We did a first look with Tori's bridesmaids because her mom was the only one who had ever seen her dress at that point. It was lots of fun, and they were so impressed! Tori really did look absolutely stunning!
Jason must have thought so too because I could have sworn he started to get a little teary when he saw his new bride walking down the aisle... maybe ;) Anyway, it was a great ceremony and we had a blast with the wedding party getting the group shots. These two are pretty photogenic as well so their portraits went well, and we even finished ahead of schedule. Love that!
Both of their families were very welcoming, fun, funny and friendly, so the reception was a great time as well. A great way to start the summer, no doubt about it!
