As I walked with Chris to the first look site, I asked if he was nervous. He flashed his smile and said “Everyone keeps asking me that, and I thought I would be, but I’m not! It seems like everything in my life has been leading up to this day and I am just so glad it is here!” His answer was perfect. Everything in their lives did lead up to this moment, I have no doubt. They grew up miles from each other but fate brought them together at Appalachian State University, many miles from their homes. And now here they were back in their home town, exchanging vows and starting their lives as one. I can’t think of anything more perfect! These two are so sweet together. Chris is kind and gentle with Brooke and always focused on her. Brooke looks at Chris with such passion in her eyes. It is the little things like this that make me love weddings so much!

The week leading up to Chris & Brooke’s wedding showed a forecast full of rain. I prayed for sunshine so they could have beautiful portraits and God delivered! It was a hot day, but the beautiful sun was out the entire time! We braved the heat for some beautiful portraits and it was worth every minute! Here is a peek into their wedding day!

Brooke and her dad had a sweet daddy-daughter moment before the first look….

And then first look time!

YES>>>>  FAVORITE!
