Congratulations Chris & Candace! Wedding in Kings Valley at Beazell Memorial Forest

I could write so many wonderful things about this couple!! Their wedding was so very touching, well thought out, and fun! Every detail had meaning and symbolism, which made it all that much more special. Here are some of my favorite images from the day....























On her way to meet her soon-to-be husband:



A great candid moment:



Handsome Chris (he looks like a movie star but I can't pin point who?!):



On the way to the ceremony site: Candace's son on one side and Chris on the other:



The married couple! :



The beautiful bride, Candace:







Her and her son. Her son gave the most touching toast I have ever heard! I think half the room was teary eyed. He's such a sweetie!



Candace and her beautiful sisters! I love this one of them cracking up!:



Candace and her lovely mother:



Love the detail shots!:















Candace didn't have a bridal party but she asked her girlfriends all to wear green dresses. I love this idea! I knew anyone in a green dress was an important part of Candace's life. It also made for a great photo!:



Happy Ever After:



Some symbolisms that I just learned:

Peacock feathers represent strength, transformation and beauty
Getting married under an oak tree is considered good luck -- the tree represents protection and strength
Sunflowers represents happiness and longevity
Oregano represents peace and honor
Mint represents love, success, health and virtue
Rosemary represents cleansing and protection

Thanks Chris and Candace for inviting me to be a part of your wedding day! I loved every minute of it!!
