Beth and Ty : Married

I didn’t have to ask where the wedding party was as I drove through the church parking lot

… and I definitely saw the groom from a mile away!

Ty and his attendants were basically tailgating mere hours before the ceremony.

Notice I didn’t say groomsmen. He had some ladies by his side too. That’s part of the fun of being Ty. He doesn’t do things the traditional way – and I love that about him!

Halfway through the day I said, “Ty, I’d better get some photos of you without a hat, beer, or cigar. You know, one to make mom happy.”

He said, “You don’t know my mom. She’d probably love this.”

After getting to know Ty and his family. I’m sure he’s right. This family was full of fun and never took anything too seriously.

But Ty cleans up well. And lucky thing too, because he’s got a gorgeous bride to impress.

 How can I begin to describe someone is so beautiful inside and out? I fall in love with each and every one of my brides. Beth is no exception. She’s got the best smile, the best personality, the best “Michelle Obama” arms. Girl, you’re gorgeous!

 The difference between a bride and a groom’s time before the ceremony….

This little guy was just one of many cute kiddos in attendance. I couldn’t resist sharing this particular shot of him in the ‘girl’s getting ready room’.

I wouldn’t have had the honor of being part of this day had it not been for Nancy, Beth’s mom. You see, Nancy comes to see me at the hair salon. I certainly can see where Beth gets her sweet spirit.

 

 

 

LOVE  Beth’s face when she locks eyes with Ty!

 

Beth and Ty are so blessed with great friends. The whole day was filled with jokes and laughter.

 

Club Fitness – a special place for Beth, Ty, and most of their friends.  We coudn’t NOT go there!

Beth’s dad’s speech was tear-jerkingly sweet. He pulled out a slip of paper that’s several years old and read it aloud to everyone. It’s a note that Beth wrote telling him to have a great day… he says he reads it anytime he needs to brighten his day.  Too Adorable!

As a mom of boys, I always see my future when I watch a groom dance with his mom.

And there’s nothing like a father’s love.

 

Can you two promise me you’ll be like this forever? Chucks, smiles, love, and all? 🙂

Beth and Ty – you two are wonderfully fun! I loved loved loved your friends. Can I just join the group? (You’ve got so many friends what’s one more, right?)

Thank you for the honor of having me document your day.

Congratulations!
