Mark and Kari. Weatherford, Texas.

091023--1592

Weatherford is on the other side of the large metroplex known as DFW, a good hour and a half.  It was well worth it to tell Mark and Kari’s story.  Kari is a wedding photographer as well and this was my first opportunity to shoot for a colleague.  They didn’t disappoint.  Their day was authentic, full of family, love and worship.  And the details were simply exquisite.  My good friends Ryan Ray and Jesse Leos shot with me, and they brought it.

I’m pretty sure they (read: Kari) have been checking the blog every five minutes since the day after the wedding, so let’s get on with it, shall we?
