Josh and Nicole...Married!

One day while Nicole washed dishes, she noticed Josh making a ring out of bread ties. "How cute," she thought. When Josh came over and put it on her hand, again she thought, "How cute." She had forgotten that she had always said that a bread tie ring was enough for her. And when the bread tie ring was too small and Josh pulled out the real ring, the rest of their lives began.

This past weekend, I had the great pleasure of traveling to Phoenix to photograph Josh and Nicole's wedding. Nicole and I went to college together, and we were roomates our Junior year. I was thrilled when I got the call that she was getting married and even more humbled when she asked me to be their photographer.

Josh and Nicole have known each other for like...umm...EVER! As her mom put it the other day, they met "in the hood!" Gainesville, FL that is. And as life happened, they both moved away but always kept in touch. It wasn't too long ago that Josh re-entered Nicole's life, and the rest, as they say, is history. Congratulations you guys, and thanks for letting me share in such a special day! I love you so much and am so happy that you have each other and this time together...

Her oh so cute shoes

And the flowers...seriously gorgeous!

As her parents walked her down the isle, her eyes were glued to her man!

I just love this next series...

The Cake!

Since Nicole doesn't really like cake, they had brownies...YUM! And since they needed something to cut, they opted for ice cream cake...even more YUM!

Josh giving Nicole, well...the whole plate!

And I've saved the best for last! There were a few of my friends and fellow dancers there that either traveled to the wedding or live in the Phoenix area. I couldn't resist sharing the next picture of the Columbia College ladies. Yeah, we're sporting our Cola Coll pride and we're cool and we know it!
