Emily and Mark are married!

While we were waiting for the wedding party to arrive at the church, I saw this bag of goodness in the lunch spread the bride's mother had laid out. Yeah, I knew it was going to be a good day :).

loved the all the bright colors

So Emily and Mark are seriously one of the sweetest couples I've ever met.  They've been dating since the middle of high school and from the way Mark couldn't take his eyes off Emily all day, I'd say their love is still as vibrant as it was in high school.  

Emily and Mark opted to see each other before the ceremony. They had a private moment together that Jon and I captured from two different angles.






Because Emily had allotted ample time for photos before the wedding, we headed to Bee Tree Park in south county for some outdoor photos. We couldn't have asked for a better day.












take a look at the hops on the guy on the left!


super fun wedding party


recognize these two? This is Pat and Jill, whose wedding I shot last year. Jill is Emily's sister and I so enjoyed working with their family again.

and some mid-ceremony sweetness


After the wedding, we took a quick stop by the location where Mark proposed to Emily and caught this beautiful light. Possibly my favorite of the day.

And my trusty assistant caught this awesome photo. This guy caught the garter and made a run for it ;).
