The Cross Wedding

"I made this for you." Becca turned to see her oldest niece and flower girl hold up a large cardboard sign. On its cover, the girl had drawn a picture of Becca wearing a crown and veil in bright pink and yellow marker. Below it she had written, 'Happy Wedding'. Her niece quickly turned the drawing over to reveal her special message on the other side, 'Love you both'. As Becca beamed a tearful smile and hugged her niece close, all of the bridesmaids in the room let out a resounding awe! What a perfect way to begin a wedding day.

Becca's second visitor came bearing a box of Backgammon. Becca's grandmother told me that she had taught her granddaughter everything she knew about playing the game. Apparently, Becca was a star pupil as her grandmother kept commenting throughout their match that she had taught her a little too well. I love the moments we capture as the couple prepares for their wedding. This is the time where the anticipation begins to build. All of the details begin to come together to create their special moment in time.

It is a tradition for the groom's family to give these pens to the couple on the day of their wedding.

Their ceremony took place in the backyard of Becca's childhood home. The two pledged themselves to one another with the love and support of their friends and family.

Their parents provided sand for Becca and Brendan's sand-blending ceremony from as far away as South Africa. Jeremy and I had such a fun time photographing your wedding. We wish you two much love and happiness in your new life together. Oh, and may you always remain... forever young. That one's for you guys!
