i was incredibly honored when bethanie emailed me and asked if i would photograph this wedding. i have done several sessions with her and her adorable daughter sophie- see here, here and here and was thrilled to witness them join together as a family with mark and his kids. here are some of my favorites from this very special event :)


all the girls got ready together-i loved watching their excitement at things like lipgloss and perfume, new dresses, rings and new shoes-


bethanie brought some fun props from her work at hallmark-the girls had a great time going through and showing me their new looks

waiting...
the girls were given rings as a symbol of the combined family. they were small rings that made a big impression on the girls



bethanie arranged for a plaque to be placed above the bar at j. gilberts-it reads mark and bethanie. it was a surprise to mark-
sophie made a very special gift-a family mobile
delicious cake by my cousin ashley at sugar beats bakeshop

congratulations guys. your happiness is wonderful!!
