Lindsy & Mark
How gorgeous is this couple? I don't know how they managed to look so flawless in the August heat.

A Perfect End to 2017
Curtis and Stephanie's wedding was during one of the coldest days of the year!! (12/30/17) It was around -8 out! (Not including the wind chill) It was sadly too cold for portraits outside. (We did get one off camera flash shot at night!) That didn't stop us from getting some beautiful indoor shots! During the wedding ceremony they had a "Sand Ceremony."
