molly+wes / trailside event center wedding

When Molly first asked me to photograph her wedding last year, I had to quickly reminisce of the day I met Molly. We met at a college party (or was it high school?) and she shared a McDonald’s cheeseburger with me. I even have pictures to prove that first moment of friendship but Ill refrain from sharing 🙂 When I heard of her engagement I couldn’t be happier for such a sweet girl to find her perfect man!

After meeting Wes during their engagement session I knew these two lovebirds were the real deal. Surrounded by so many great friends and family who helped make their day so memorable, I was beyond honored to be there to capture it. It was just as perfect as they are!
