A Beautiful Bride with a Beautiful Heart makes for a Beautiful Day

I absolutely love weddings!!!

I love the joining of two families and the happiness it brings. I love the dancing and the celebration of a new beautiful life. I love the ceremonies and handwritten vows that make the mommas cry. I love the groom's face as he is overwhelmed watching his stunning bride take each step closer to their new life together. I love the bride getting ready with her family and bridesmaids as they reminisce hilarious sweet memories. And I love going back and forth between the groom's room and the bride's room seeing how excited and anxious they are to see each other.

I have been so fortunate to photograph couples who are so stinking in love.

One of my favorite weddings took place this summer and I had the opportunity to work for my talented dad (Ted Parker Jr Photography). It was such a beautiful day not only because of the ambiance and decorations, but because of the kind people, joyous dancing, and beautiful bride. Here are a few of my favorite pictures I took from the Snow wedding.

Here is a play by play of what goes down behind the scenes of a wedding photographer photographing candid moments of the bride.

Enjoy!
