Lindsay & Brad’s Wedding

This is going to be one of my favorite posts. Lindsay is my sister and she just got MARRIED to the love of her life… and I got a brother!!! As a wedding photographer I am used to hearing brides say how far away the wedding feels like it is and I finally understand! Lindsay and Brad were engaged in early summer last year and decided on a late fall wedding and it FINALLY is here!!!

I was the maid of honor at my big sister’s wedding but I still snapped some pictures here and there! Lindsay’s photographer Kyle was amazing!!! He happens to also be related to Brad, woop woop photographers!!! I am very happy about being Lindsay’s Maid of Honor and I had too much fun with it (watch my toast at the bottom). My sister means the world to mean and I still learn something new about her everyday!! Brad is truly like my brother and before Lindsay was walking down the aisle he was crying. I knew at that moment how much he loved her…

Lindsay wanted a woodland themed wedding and my mom did some magic and pulled it off, squirrels and all! I want to thank each and every one of you who helped my mom through this process. I know she loved having your help!! Also, thank to everyone who partied with us at the wedding!!! We had blast.

Check out some pictures from the wedding!! Don’t mind some of the facebook pictures haha

OH and check out my Maid of Honor toast!! It’s worth watching the entire way I promise.
