May 26 was a blustery day in eastern Colorado, but the outdoor ceremony of Lindzy and Adam went on as planned. They weren't about to let all their plans and dreams get interrupted just because Mother Nature was not cooperating. And what a beautiful ceremony it was, full of love and emotion.
I was so honored to be there, as not only a guest during this beautiful day, but also as a second shooter to my amazing friend Krista of Juhl Photography.

| Lindzy seeing herself in her wedding dress on her wedding day. What a special moment. I wonder what was going through her head just then? |
 |
| The room in which the bridal party got ready had an external door: I knew I had to use it for a full length bridal portrait. (And just look at those ruched layers! Gorgeous dress for a gorgeous bride!) |

| Lindzy pauses for a moment during her busy afternoon to pose for us by the window. |
 |
| Flower girls and ring bearer. Look at that grin. |
 |
| Aw, yeah: here comes the bride, and he's seeing her dressed to the nines, just for him. |
 |
| Love this shot of Lindzy, getting a bit emotional as her daddy gave her away. |
 |
| Sealed with a kiss. |
I was so honored to be a part of their wedding. The couple was so incredibly nice: they invited my friend (the main photographer) and I to their rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding and were very friendly toward us. They truly made us feel as though we were guests at their wedding, and not there to work. (I'm not gonna lie: I never know what to expect walking into a wedding.)
Lindzy had a candy bar at the reception. We shot photobooth photos in front of a kick-butt background, which the bride designed. Her colors were pink, black, and white. And my favorite part? She and her husband chose all of the music, something which I have always wanted to do. (I have, in fact, already started a list of songs to compile for that fateful day.)
The day all around was fantastic and fun. Beautiful bride, handsome groom...too bad Mother Nature was an unwelcomed guest, blowing around the decorations and chairs. Winds were a sustained 14 - 45 MPH with gusts up to 60, but that did not hamper the joyous occasion.
