Republica Dominicana

So once again I'm down in the Domincan Republic for my yearly trip! It never gets old, this is my 5th trip down here and I love it more and more every time! It's definitely become more normal being here...as the lizards, sucky frogs, cockroaches, scorpions, and spiders definitely don't freak me out as much! Plus it's nice getting down and dirty sometimes, not always having to have the nice posh life that we live back in the states! I have about 9 or 10 photoshoots to do while I'm here which is way less than usual...since we have the system in place to get it all done quickly I'll be enjoying the last few days as strictly vacation! Always a nice surprise!
For those of you who don't know I come down and visit my aunt and uncle every year to do senior photo shoots for the school that they run here! It's always such an incredible and eye opening experience! I LOVE getting to know everyone and it's simply refreshing just being able to sit overlooking the mountains and valley all day long before the shoots in the afternoon! It's definitely the life.

Shana & Casey ::: Wedding

Two weeks ago I had such the privilage to shoot Shana and Casey's wedding. Now I'm not quite even sure how to put in words how incredible the day was both weather wise and wedding wise but I'll try as best I can!
I told you on the engagement post just how amazing these two are and their amazing love for each other that sets the bar high for everyone else! That love, for sure, came through every minute of this day. From walking into their house that they just bought and seeing 6 pictures that Casey had printed out for Shana representing the 7 days of creation and the sixth one he had given her that day...a picture of them holding hands close up representing God bringing woman to man! I LOVED it!
That should give you a small example of what the rest of the day was like: Full of meaning and thought.
The whole wedding took place at their church Fellowship Bible and it was the perfect setting for a wedding pluse the weather was probably the best it had been all year. Perfect.
And of course as I said in the last post... they finally had their first kiss at the alter! It was sooo beautiful!
Shana and Casey! God bless you both so much! I'm soooo excited for your future together!!
