It’s true, that timing is everything. Tony and Christa met in 8th grade English class and had a crush on one another from afar. Flash forward to 2013 and good old Facebook (the virtual yearbook, I call it)… their paths crossed once again and they have been inseparable ever since!
Tony loves Christa’s beautiful blue eyes and how cute she is when she’s clumsy. And, a bonus, she absolutely adores his mother. Christa loves how hard working he is. His positive outlook on life. And, how he makes up his own lyrics to songs (as in, he sings it wrong, but she thinks it’s funny).
Together, they share a love of the outdoors and country music, so the rustic setting at Bates Nut Farm was a perfect place for them to celebrate their wedding. And what a wedding it was! Not only was it the perfect, warm summer day, it was a wedding filled to the brim with love. One of my favorite moments was during the ceremony when Pastor Doug (who, side note, married my husband and I – he’s the best!) had everyone stand in support of their marriage. The bride-and-groom turned to face their guests and just soaked in all the love. How touching it was to witness! Another favorite: the giant group hug at the end of the wedding, which is the last image below. It was amazing! And there were so many beautiful details to photograph. I loved the romance of the burlap and lace, mixed with the vibrancy of the teal blue and a pop of yellow throughout with the gerber daisies.
Tony + Christa, thank you for the honor of photographing your wedding. I am so thrilled for you guys and the adventure that God has in store for you!
