Brett and Kirsten are married!

Friday, June 27, 2008 at 10:50am Posted in wedding

This wedding was extra special for me.  I have know Kirsten more years that I can count on one hand (almost 2).  It was a huge compliment when she said she can’t imagine anyone else but me photographing her wedding.  Tim and I made the trip to the Midwest to celebrate the June 14th celebration of Brett and Kirsten’s wedding.   In fact, we got to go back to where it all began…where Kirsten and I met, which happens to be the place that Kirsten and Brett met and fell in love!  Bradley University in Peoria, Illinois!  

 The day started at 9am with a yoga/meditation session.  This was such a great idea!  Kirsten is a Yoga Instructor at Downtown Yoga in Peoria.   Her friend from Heading Om studio came to lead the session.

I just love how Brett is looking at his bride while she is thanking the guests.

This is a model canoe.  Which also has special meaning, since these two got engaged on a canoe trip in Florida!
