sim + mal :: married

When I first met with Mal and Sim a few months back to discuss photographing their wedding, I really loved them even in that 45 minutes we chatted. They are so down to earth, kind, easy to talk with, and PERFECT for each other. When they told me their wedding date was my husband and I's 5 year wedding anniversary, I was even more excited! What better way to celebrate our love for each other than to celebrate and witness the start of another great couples' love in marriage!? They were so kind to us and wanted to make sure we really wanted to spend our anniversary "working", but we assured them we would and Chris and I are both so happy that we did. We feel very honored to have been a part of such a beautiful day. Really, everything could not have been more perfect. The weather, the colors, the couple, the families, the setting, everything!! Clearly, you will see that I had trouble narrowing down my favorite photos. We wish you all the best, Mal and Sim. THANK YOU so much for inviting us to share your day-you and your families are some really great people and I know your future together is bright!!We feel so lucky to have met you all!





Mal and her sister, Lindsay said a quick prayer together before Mal went up to meet Sim before the ceremony.


Mal is oozing with happiness and joy-which I am told is pretty much normal for her. Such a great thing!!:)






Sim was just in awe of his beautiful bride-to-be. I thought it was so cute the way he kept looking her over.




First glimpse of some awesome family...






















Here is one from Chris's perspective. Love having him along!




There is that look.




Loved the fabulous shoe color choice to spice things up a bit! :)




Another from my hubby's camera...




Seriously, such a fantastic group of people! Really felt lucky to meet them all! We had so much fun!

I always love to find a random piece of field and MUST take advantage when I do.




I loved that the family was so close and it was such an intimate ceremony, that we all walked the grounds of FMG together before hand snapping photos.




How cute are the little flower girls in their tiny purple, princess shoes?


And what a doll baby, this one was!


The colors in these next few coupled with glimmers of sunshine coming through are just magical.






Sim and his sisters! So goofy-how can you not love it?






Mal with her sister,Lindsay, and best gal pal, Rachelle.








And one more from my awesome husband's perspective...






Time to get married!


Again, the intimacy of this ceremony made it so special and also, Sim's Dad officiated!






The rings please...






A male blessing!


I had to put this picture in because it made me smile.












Awesome center pieces-ALL Sim's doing!! I was so impressed. They looked so great!












This is the poem that Sim's best man read as part of his toast. Priceless!




Cheers!
