Luke and Jennifer's Wedding

These two.  Luke is my wonderful brother and Jennifer my awesome sister-in-law.  Everyone in both of our families were so excited that these two were getting married after being together for over a decade.  They are both very outdoorsy, so they had planned....an outdoor wedding!  They found the most perfect, idyllically beautiful ceremony location in North Everett--the arboretum at Legion Park.  They wedding was in late May, which means the weather can be great, but is usually rainy.  Fortunately, the day was sunny and gorgeous.  The ceremony was simple and perfect for them.  Since the arboretum was so verdant and bursting with color, there was no need for elaborate decorations.  Everything that they chose; from the location, to Luke's suit and Jen's dress, to the processional was unique and personal.  In his pocket, my brother placed a St. Christopher pendant, which belonged to our late grandpa, and our late grandma's cross pendant.  We all love and miss both of them so much, so this was a super special gesture.  Jennifer carried a bouquet that she put together herself and wore a dress that quite literally suited her flawlessly.  The ceremony was short but meaningful and I found myself biting back tears of happiness as I snapped away.  Here are some of my favorite shots from that picturesque day, sorry there are so many.  I might be a little biased, haha:

Our dad and Jen's mom each carried one of the twins (dad had Jamie, Sue had Daisy), and Lucy.  The twins each had a ring and Lucy was the flower girl.

The groom.  He gets a little emotional.

One of the coolest things I've ever seen out of all the many weddings I've been to; the ceremony was small, so Jen took the time after she walked up the aisle to look at each guest and smile, taking it all in like she was trying to memorize every guest and every detail.  It was very touching.
