Saving the best, for last...


And they lived happily ever after.  The end beginning.

Thing #2 and 2.1's beginning...MY ending.  My final post on their wedding.  And I truly saved the best, for last.  I am soooo enjoying the amazing talents of Rebeccca Barger Photography and her eye for detail.  Rebecca and I went to high school together, yet didn't really 'know' each other. She is a few years behind me chronologically, hard not to hate on that! Yet years ahead of me in photographic talent and experience...yeah, hard not to hate on that too! (KIDDING...sort of).   Kudos to all of you who do wedding photography.  The idea of holding that responsibility in my hand, and camera, totally scares the bejeezus outta me.  Such an important day.  Such a monumental milestone.   Aside from memories, photographs are the only tangible we have to re-live that day.  Both for those in the present...and for future generations.  Memories fade. Photographs? Thank goodness for ever evolving technology.

When Thing #2 got engaged, the first thing we did was book the venue.  The second thing we did was book Rebecca.  Photography is just THAT important to me.  It's high on the priority list.  And it was a total no-brainer who I was going to choose to document and preserve this day.  She totally NAILED it. The big picture, and the details.  Thanks Rebecca!

Easiest blog post I've ever done...because it's Rebecca's!  Please check out Rebecca Barger Photography Blog for more amazing wedding photography.  And I promise...THE END.

Kylie + Jared, Cairnwood Estate

Kylie and Jared married at gorgeous Cairnwood Estate in Bryn Athyn.  I have been to Cairnwood many times and I’ve envisioned this first dance photo and I finally was able to shoot it,  positively beautiful!
Kylie and Jared’s day was filled with love, fun,  and lots of details,  planned by  Proud to Plan.
 Thank you so much for capturing all the details because the whole day was a blur for Jared and I!  LOVE these! What a tease, this makes me so excited to see the rest of them! ~Kylie
“Oh,Rebecca Barger…you have outdone yourself!   SOOOOO happy!!!” ~Kathy, Mother-of-the-Bride
