Hi, I’m Anna, welcome to my blog. Relax a minute, kick your feet up and take a peek at my work. If you look around a bit, you’ll see that I absolutely ADORE people! They’re my favorite subjects. There’s just something about capturing someone’s soul. It’s quite an attractive job to me.

I specialize in natural lighting photography…there’s just a special warmth to it. I love photographing ordinary events in a unique way. Such an adventure!

What do you say? Shall we jazz things up a bit? :)

::Their Big Day - Hannah and Peter::

The day started cloudy and rainy...it ended that way too.  But the icky weather wasn't enough to dampen our spirits.  The big day had come!  Hannah and Peter were getting MARRIED!!!
That knowledge alone was enough to turn that gray, soggy morning into one of the brightest days of our dear friends' lives!  We all felt such joy, an overwhelming happiness.
With that said, let's get started, shall we?  :)

Kisses for Lissy, Hannah's niece.

Boots!  The wedding theme was Country/Western.

"Auntie Nannah, your sleeves are so big!  They look like wings!"  :)

And just minutes before we began pre-ceremony pictures, Peter decided to run outside to get something...in his dress shirt!  We quickly sent a hairdryer across the hall so he could get rid of those unsightly rain spots.  :)

Photobucket
Hannah and Peter chose to do pre-ceremony pictures, and here is almost everyone...ready to go.

These bouquets were so much fun to make!

Yes, the lovely bride, the whole wedding party in fact, had Wendy's food...15 minutes before the ceremony.  We laughed and ate, ate and laughed, sighed...and got ready.

Photobucket
Yummy!  :)

Photobucket
Peter, deep in thought.

Praying with his father, just before the wedding.  A very special moment.

They all stood...

Saying their vows...

Photobucket
Undoubtedly THE quickest first kiss I've ever (tried to) capture!
I think it lasted about, hmm, 3/4 of a second!  This is all I got of it.  :)

Photobucket
Man and Wife!!!

Photobucket
Their cake smelled absolutely delicious!!

Congratulations!

And off they went, starting life together, as one.

Hannah and Peter, I pray earnestly that the Lord will guide you and keep you.
May you ever look to Him! Blessings on your future together!
With Much Love,
~Anna Grace

Oh, how I love your perspective on life, Anna!

You captured the pristine joy of this godly young couple, kept for each other, with such sweetness and joy. As I scrolled down through these pictures, each one held more and more lovely memories of their wedding evening!

Congratulations Peter and Hannah, and may the Lord continue to shine His Presence, peace and joy on your lives together!

SO worth the wait.

Moved to tears.

...a prayin' mama
hugging the fruit of her womb,
the fruit of her hands,
her polished cornerstone ~
adorned with the raiment that God intends.

How beautiful.

Ohhhh Anna! I teared up as well! Thank you so much for spending so much time taking pictures and fixing me up and helping me set up and keeping me from completely bursting that day!!!! God has indeed given me the most wonderful husband and family! I cannot wait to get some copies so I can look at them about a million times a day ;-)
My heart is truly warmed by the love displayed, God's grace given, and support shown, in all these pictures. Thanks Anna!!!
Hannah~~~

You have really great taste on catch article titles, even when you are not interested in this topic you push to read it

Great pictures. Truly amazing. I love the coloring--you use photoshop?

Some of them were SO cool they took my breath away--like the one of their first kiss. I love the white background and just the happiness resonating from the photo.

You're a genius! :)

Blessings in Christ,
Bekah
