nate and paige :: wedding

this post is only a little bit late. my grandmother used to have this saying "i'm so far behind, i think that i am ahead . . ." 

that is just how i'm feeling about blogging right now. i'm so far behind, maybe i am ahead!

nate and paige tied the knot on april 15th. it was a really windy and cold day in holland, mi.

we managed to live through all the wind and the cold. nate and paige were real troopers about how so cold and windy it was.

thanks you guys for letting me capture and document your beautiful day!

and a special thanks to my son evan, who was my second shooter. thanks evan.

thanks kam for the inspiration. cannot wait to see what you are going to do with this.
