I know I’ve said this before, but it REALLLLLLLY is a small world! You never know where connections will be made! For instance, I knew Paul’s family growing up. His mom was my 2nd grade teacher and his dad was the athletic director at my high school. His younger sister Sarah and I always got along, even though she was a few grades ahead of me. And we’ve managed to keep in touch randomly through out the years, and then of course came the social networking empire of Facebook! Sarah and I reconnected again! So when her older brother Paul decided to get married, guess who was on the top of their list!? It was so amazing to see how full circle it had all come!

Kate & Paul had a gorgeous day! Their ceremony was simple, intimate, and personal. Their pastor had married Kate’s parents as well as watch Kate grow up. I found that to be a profound and beautiful accent to their day. Their reception was a fantastic celebration where two families came together as one to support Kate & Paul. Thank you Kate & Paul for allowing up to capture your day! It was truly wonderful!
