When you meet the man of your dreams, you think it'll be like all the little fairy tales you see in the movies - meet, fall in love, get married, and live happily ever after... But Michael had a different plan ;) Cause you know, he's Michael and doesn't like to do things like anyone else, lol. Being from a small town, if you don't know know someone, you at least have heard about them. I knew they had been together for forever, but didn't know all the details.

When we met up for their engagements, I asked my typical - how long have you been together, how'd you meet, yada yada. This is where it got good... If you know Lindsay, you know the attitude that came over her when she told me this story - They had been together for two years when they went on a trip to celebrate in June (remember that month... JUNE). He had a ring. She wasn't stupid. They loved each other, it was gonna happen, what's he waiting on? CHRISTMAS... he waited until CHRISTMAS! Cause he's that funny LOL. Let me tell you something even better! He waited till Christmas NIGHT LOL!! Made that goofy girl wait all day!! That right there, totally sums up their relationship - the funny, hard headed, we will be giving each other a hard time for the rest of our lives, but I can't wait to spend it with you, kinda relationship :)

Love getting ready shots!

A toast to the groom with their traditional Crown to get the day started!

The First Look | Nothing gives me more joy than to give the Bride & Groom a few moments to just enjoy each other and let all the nervous energy of the day wash away!

One of my favorite reasons to have a second shooter is so I can spend every minute with the Bride leading up to the ceremony. Sometimes, a moment with dad is just as important to calm those nerves as seeing your groom :)
