JoAnna and Chris
I really love small weddings-- they are so intimate and emotional and it really allows me to get closer to the guests and the couple. JoAnna and Chris' wedding was at Willow Pond yesterday and it was the perfect small wedding-- everyone there was really close to the bride and groom and many had traveled across the country to be there. It was a wedding that was so much fun-- they even tried to drag me out on the dance floor!
I loved the Air Force garter that JoAnna wore for Chris.
JoAnna went a little untraditional and wore red shoes to match the sash on her dress.
I think yesterday was probably the prettiest day of the year... and I have the sunburn to prove it! :)
I am a bit surprised JoAnna's face wasn't sore, she grinned from ear to ear the entire ceremony.
Right after the ceremony, I ran away for a few minutes of alone time with the couple. Chris and JoAnna were so at ease with each other and spent most of the session making each other laugh.
The reception had such a cozy feel with all the twinkle li

Although originally planned for outside, the ceremony inside the Shiloh Farm chapel had a really intimate feel.
Jennifer and Jim's happiness was really contagious, I don't think you can help but smile when you are around them!
This is just before Jennifer "broke" my camera! Thank God for backups!
Through the technical difficulties, they were so calm and laid back. I, on the other hand, was not!
Although the rain held off for our portraits, you can see the wind having some fun with Jennifer's veil.
The bridal party, including the groomswoman! Sorry to Reagan for constantly referring to the groom's attendants as "the guys"!
Jennifer and Jim had some dance lessons in preparation for their first dance. We took a break in the portraits for a quick demonstration.
And here they are putting those lessons to work in their first dance!
Jennifer is exactly how she looks-- she is one of the sweetest, happiest, most laid back brides I have ever met. I think she is the Miss Congeniality of my brides!
The band was the real highlight of the reception. They are hands down the BEST band I have ever heard at an event. They played a great variety of music and really kept the dance floor packed. They are the TOP of my recommendation list! Check them out at 
The party got a little rowdier as the night went on....
