It’s been a very busy summer for weddings, but I was anxious as ever to photograph a small wedding at Crystal Beach. It was another amazing venue. The ceremony took place right on the rocks by the lake. After a 10 minute walk down the dirt road, everyone eventually found a place on the rocks. It was then Jessica’s turn to make her entrance with her father. Holding hands, they slowly made their way to the crowd and to her future husband, Billy.

Once the ceremony was done everyone gathered around for some big group shots. The backdrop of the lake made for some wonderful photos. It was then Jessica and Billy’s turn for some couple portraits. As usual, I let them do their own thing as I sat back and captured some natural photos.

The reception was held in a tent in the backyard. This time around, in order for a kiss, someone had to tell a personal experience they had with either Billy or Jessica. Once a few people got up, pretty much everyone in the crowd told a story. It made for a lot of laughs and also plenty of tears.

It was a pleasure photographing such a small yet big spirited and fun wedding. Thank you to Jessica and Billy for choosing me as their photographer. Congratulations!
