Chrystal contacted me with a whirlwind behind her. She was getting married in 6 weeks, there was no time to waste! Her and Mikey had planned on getting married in the following year, but life happened. Chrystal's little sister is pregnant...and so is Mikey's sister. They will both be due about the time that they had originally planned on getting married. The other constraint: the military. Mikey is in the service, it is hard to say when he is going to be called to duty. Chrystal and Mikey didn't want to wait anymore, so they decided to push up the wedding date. So, the wedding was planned in a few short weeks. Chrystal did an amazing job despite the time constraints.
The only problem with having a wedding in late October is that there is no telling what the weather will do. We managed to be stuck in the middle of the storm. It was certainly a challenge to shoot in the rain (I had never had to deal with a steamed up lens before). It also added something special to the day, I especially loved the rain boots and the umbrella.
Chrystal and Mikey decided that they wanted to see one another before the ceremony. It was a perfect way to start the day. Chrystal was beaming and Mikey was full of pride. They shared a few special moments under the covered bridge before heading over to the train (that's right, they got married on a train!)
Chrystal couldn't fit through the little walkway in her dress, so the boys actually came down and lifted her onto their shoulders to bring her down the aisle. So much fun!
Chrystal and Mikey, thank you so much for including me in your day. Despite the rain (and the man in the yellow jacket) it was a perfect day. You two look so happy together and I am thrilled to have been there to witness it.
