Jason + Becky | The Beginning of a Beautiful Forever

September 02, 2014  •  1 Comment

Jason & Becky had known each other for a number of years before circumstances tossed them into a situation where they were inadvertently "forced" to get to know one another.  Assigned to planning a church mission trip, these two suddenly found that perhaps they'd been overlooking something amazing that had been right before them for a long time.  Jason gathered his courage and asked Becky out.  She said yes to a date, and around one year later when Jason proposed on a snowy Valentine's Day evening, she said yes to a lifetime together.  Here's a little glimpse at the beginning of their forever... 

Becky's golden sparkly heels had me at hello.

Becky gave Jason a card before the first look.

She had him in happy tears before he'd even seen her...

It's moments like these that leave me feeling so incredibly blessed to do this job.  I often find myself grinning madly or tearing up behind my camera.  These moments are so incredibly priceless, and witnessing and photographing them is such an honor.

On a side note, Jason chauffeured his bride about in the most fabulous car, so naturally photos in said car were a must.

So adorable, Becky!  

The bride and groom chose the vineyards at beautiful Breitenbach Winery for their creative shoot.

Love the moment as the bride comes down the aisle...

It bears mentioning that the night before the wedding, there was a torrential downpour.  It was nothing short of a miracle that they were able to have the ceremony and reception at the planned location since it had flooded the night before.  The ground was a bit soft, and navigating that in golden heels can be difficult, so Jason swept his bride up into his arms as they exited the ceremony as the new Mr. & Mrs. Miller.

The setting for their reception was breathtaking.  The back of their tent was nestled up against the forest, with the front of the tent situated on the edge of a quiet pond.

Cake wars...

…and toasts...

…had everyone laughing at present and past antics of the bride and groom.  These two are truly beloved by their friends and family.

The evening ended with a surprise fireworks show for their guests.

…and off they drove, happy, tired, and hearts full after a day that was truly like a fairytale.  
You see, fairytales aren't perfect.  
They're ADVENTUROUS - full of twists, turns, and unexpected obstacles.  
The rain the evening before presented huge challenges, lots of twists and turns, and this couple, with no small amount of support from their family and friends, weathered the literal storm like champions.  Life is like that.  Marriage is like that.  True fairytales aren't perfect…they're adventurous, full of twists and turns, and it's our willingness to keep going through the storm that will see us through to the other side…to the magic of a beautiful evening where two people stood by each other and promised to weather all of life's storms the way they had the evening before...
TOGETHER.
 
Huge thanks to Diane of D.Beiler Photography for second shooting the day with me!
