At the end of the day, when I hit the road to head home, I was grinning from ear to ear. I couldn't stop smiling. I had to call my hubby and then my BFF to tell them about this amazing couple.
Renee and Cooper are so kind and sweet. They're faith in the Lord is rooted deep and you can see God at the center of their relationship. They knew each other from when Renee and her family lived in Montana. They went to school together, but their relationship didn't start there. Renee's family moved to Novinger, Missouri, just outside of Kirksville, Mo, and it was a couple years later that Cooper reached out to Renee... And their journey to the altar began.
There were several wonderful moments throughout the day. We took getting ready photos of both bride and groom. We did a first look with Renee's bridesmaids and the joy and tears were truly a joy to capture. We then setup a first look with her Dad and again, there were tears, not just between father and daughter, but for family that was watching as well.
Renee of course was absolutely stunning and her photos are gorgeous. Cooper is handsome with a true Montana cowboy look that absolutely tugged at our heartstrings. During the ceremony when Cooper got to see his bride for the first time coming down the aisle, his grin was wide and genuine, and we captured tears in his eyes. Renee sang to him, a beautiful song of "I do", then the couple shared their very first kiss ever. It was such a blessing to be a part of their celebration.
We finally got to get away with the couple to capture portraits of just the two of them. The location was beautiful and for all my couples.... I recommend adding a horse. LOL! Pete, the horse, did a great job posing with our couple for some great pictures with the most picturesque background. These two did a fantastic job and they were so much fun to photograph.
At the reception we had BBQ and cupcakes. That food had been cooking all day and smelled so good from the time we stepped foot in the church. I would also like to point out that this group can dance! They left me spinning and whirling just watching them.
What an amazing day and an even more amazing couple! I'm so glad we got to be a part of their day. Congratulations to you two! We wish you the very best and pray for many blessings on your marriage.
