[The Poe's]

This is the second wedding I got to second shoot with Lydia, and it was simply AMAZING. This end of May wedding was on a day where the rain wouldnt stop, and it certainly wasnt just trickling down. it was pouring for hours on end. So I know that doesnt make for an amazing wedding day, especially when its suppose to be outdoors at this beautiful manor, but what happened that afternoon made it such a cute story. The bride and groom didnt want to see eachother before the wedding ceremony itself, so they were talking back and forth on walkie talkies. They couldnt make a decision of whether they were to bring the wedding inside, or just wait the rain out, and see if it would clear up (we could see sun in the distance). They both took a leap of faith, and put off the wedding about 45 minutes. finally, the rain and dark clouds cleared, and what took its place was the most stunning sunset I had seen in a long time. it was truly a miracle, and I am sure everyone there that witnessed it won't forget that ceremony, especially the bride and groom, who got their dream outdoor wedding. :)

right when the ceremony started, i looked behind me and saw this awesome, awesome view. I still cant believe the weather that day went from one extremely rainy day, to a golden glowy sunset!

what an awesome sunset.

first dance.

Instead of doing the traditional bouquet toss, the bride decided to give it to the groom's grandparents, who have been married more than 50 years, and that day was their anniversary. :)
