Chris + Stacey, A Lakeside Wedding - Part 1

The sky was dark, the wind was blowing strong, and the weather man was predicting rain. At the same time, Stacey and her bridesmaids were getting ready for the big day ... all the while hoping the rain would hold off just long enough for a beautiful lakeside wedding ceremony. Before they walked the aisle, Chris and Stacey opted to do a first look. You could read the excitement and nervousness all over Chris's face as Stacey started her walk towards him. It was a super sweet moment ... Chris turned to see his bride for the first time, all smiles, and they just hugged and had a much anticipated moment of togetherness ... just the two of them.

We made it to the ceremony site, Chris and Stacey's lakeside backyard, just in time for a light rain to begin to fall. Amazingly, though, the sun broke through the clouds and the rain dried up just as the minister began. It was like a little wedding gift straight from God :)

The ceremony was short and very sweet, with both Chris and Stacey writing their own vows. Then, everyone went under the tent for dinner, dancing, and some very funny toasts. It was a great night ... way cold for May ... but wonderful, fun, and beautiful!!

Chris and Stacey, Thank you for allowing me the privilege of being a part of your big day! Here is PART 1 of your sneak peek ... Stay tuned for PART 2.
