Oh this wedding. I’ve had a good feeling about this wedding since the engagement session but I’ve also been very nervous for this wedding. I went to high school with this girl & she’s always been so wonderful to me even when I was the “new girl in town”.. Emily & Eric both deserved a […]

Kenda & Ian | Governor Nelson State Park Engagement Session
