This wedding had all the familiar feelings of most weddings I shoot..
Lots of excitement in the "getting ready" room...
Cute kids...
People wanting to "capture every moment"...
A beauitful bride getting ready...
Another beautiful bride getting ready...
...wait a minute...2 brides??? A double wedding??? No friends, 2 brides marrying each other. But before we go any further I think it's very imporant that you read part of the letter Jenny and Katie sent out with their save the dates:
So... is it a wedding? A commitment ceremony? A holy union? Well, we’re calling it a wedding, but that’s not really important. Marriage is much more than a piece of paper and recognition by the government. It is a time to come before our families and friends and ask for God’s blessing on our love and our life together. Our marriage will not be recognized by the government, but we hope that in your eyes, we will be married to each other. It is our wish that when all is said and done, you won’t notice the labels and the politics - you’ll notice the love. -Katie and Jenny
Okay...now that you've read that on with the photos!
Something really cool happened during the ceremony. I've often seen a pastor ask if anyone in the congregation wants to lay hands on the couple to pray for their marriage and love, usually a few people will go up...but with Katie and Jenny half the church went up! It was amazing, as a Christian myself just beautiful to see them surrounded by so much love and support.
My assistant Stephanie captured a great shot of it from the balcony.
They also hired wedding coordinator extraordinaire Sabrina, between her, me, Steph and the girls we had an absolute blast!
Katie and Jenny I am so happy for you guys, you wedding day was flawless and everything you wanted it to be! I can't wait for you to see the rest of the photos.
