Autumn and Daniel have a special place in my heart. The first time I met Daniel, he was a 7th grader in a photography class I was teaching years ago at a summer camp class for Junior High kids at Dordt. I have a bad memory, but I remembered Daniel for his red curly hair, and his politeness and charm. :-)
I had the opportunity to photograph both of Daniel's sisters' weddings. Sarah and Josh in December 2006 and Margaret and Scott last July. They are a very gracious family and it was great to see all of them again!
Autumn happens to be the daughter of our school's amazing K-4 Music and Orchestra teacher, as well as my three boys' PATIENT piano teacher. My first paid shoot ever was to photograph the Wielenga family, all of whom play a stringed instrument, with their instruments Christmas 2005. Or was it 2004? Hmmmm......I'll have to look it up!
Anyway, when Autumn was going to be a High School senior, I got to take her senior pictures. During the course of the evening, I asked if she had a boyfriend, and when she told me it was Daniel, I was so tickled to actually know who he was, and mostly that he was such a good guy! Later that summer I also ended up taking Daniel's senior pictures, which was fun. Autumn has also taught my kids swimming lessons during the summers that she worked at the pool.
All this to say, I was soooo thankful and excited that Autumn and Daniel chose me to photograph their wedding a few weeks ago. It was an absolutely wonderful day, filled with much love for the couple from family and friends.
Here are a bunch of my favorites:
Autumn and Daniel's first look-
Love this one...
Beautiful bride...
Happy couple...
The wedding site was the Orange City Golf course...here is the couple relaxing near one of the Golf Course ponds. This was before the weather decided to throw us a curve ball in the form of rain!
Autumn with her veil blowing in the breeze...so elegant!
The rain clouds moved on just in time...the ceremony could not have been more beautiful!
Thank you, Autumn and Daniel for the privilege of photographing your wedding day. It was...........magical ;-)
