Beautiful day, beautiful couple… what’s not to like?!? Lana and Brian are a fun, smart, sweet couple, so obviously in love & completely comfortable with one another that it makes them a pleasure to photograph.  First things first… this ring is a stunner.

Okay, I have to pause the blog here to talk about Brian a sec… so he wrote Lana a super sweet note for their wedding day… but he also made the paper.  From plants and flowers from all of the significant places in their lives together.  Um okay.  Take note grooms… the bar has been set.

lots of laughs make for a fun morning with the gals

You may recognize Lara back there… Liz had the pleasure of photographing her wedding, where Lana was maid of honor :)

stunning!  Lana has the shiniest eyes!

break out the champangles!  Oh wait, they haven’t been invented yet!  © pending LOL

Hi Brian!

the Cathedral Basilica with a very blue sky

yay!

so the veil was angry that day, my friends….

Brian getting used to that thing on his finger!  He looks so happy.

more veil rowdiness (it was windy, there was no taming that sucker!)

lookin good Mr. Link!

I am not sure what is happening here, but I like it.

see?!

off to the party!

the best man’s toast got a lot of tears…especially from Brian’s mom!

and lots of laughter too!

from outside….

the fun staircase at Armbruster Great Hall

Thank you for letting Mer and I capture your wedding day, we had a blast!  Also thank you for your patience as my house flooded and my plumbing stack burst while I was editing your photos!! with love, Kate
