geoffrey & audrey: married.

I am SOOO thrilled to share this lovely wedding with you all! I believe it was a Thursday when I got that email. I opened it up to find that Audrey was in need of a wedding photographer---for her wedding---on SATURDAY! It was my only free Saturday in the month of March, and of course I wrote back right away to tell her how happy I would be to work with her. Once I arrived at her house on the day of the wedding, and she opened the door, I knew we were in for something spectacular!

SHE. WORE. PURPLE. That's right! Need I even say more?! I personally have a little secret infatuation with this vibrant hue. You may remember me blogging once before about my purple patent leather heels. Oh that glorious half inch heel! So when I realized that Audrey was dawning a purple gown, I was in picture taking heaven! The rest of the day would be extraordinary and Audrey was gorgeous in her dress.

Audrey, I know you've waited a few days for these pictures--thanks for being patient with me! Thank you so much for your email and I'm so glad I was able to help out for the day. Your Geoffrey is charming and handsome and I can see how easily you fell for him. He looks at you and his eyes smile. You both were incredibly easy to photograph and I thank you for including me in your day. Your intimate ceremony was really special and I love the photos we were able to capture with the ice cream!

That brings me to another great story! How many people do you know who would actually ask to "cut" in line? There is a most adorable tasty little ice cream shop in Bloomington, and Audrey's maid of honor Holly and I both loved the idea of doing some pictures there. When we arrived at The Chocolate Moose, naturally there was a line. A LONG line. So what do good bridesmaid do? Well, they do what ANY good bridesmaid would do. They ask to cut in line! AND...best part of all...They offer to buy for everyone in line! Holly, you're stellar in my book and kind beyond words! I crack up that the total bill was about $35 for all those people! Only in a small town right! How great are these images though with that ice cream? And how fun for those folks in line? I bet they will forever remember, GIRL, PURPLE DRESS, and that lovely lady who paid for the ice cream that day!

I love these images Audrey and Geoffrey. I hope you continue making each other happy daily! And congratulations on "it's a boy"! So excited for you both!
