This is my first "photo" post on our new blog. I'm still giddy about it. :) Don't forget to check out the contest that we're running - you could score some free music! Who doesn't love music? And who doesn't love free?

Onto Amy and Chad. You may recall a recent sneak peek of this wedding. As a refresher, Amy and Chad were married outside at Tavern in the Gardens
(hello fantastic venue!).

This wedding will go down as one of my favorites.

From Amy and Chad's down-to-earth, easygoing personalities, to their families' welcoming attitudes, to the energetic, fun wedding party, to the gorgeous weather, to the sincere joy and excitement flowing through the atmosphere - everything about this day reminded me of why I love my job (if you can even call it a job after rattling through a list like that).

The day ran smoothly - and even if it wouldn't have, I'm certain that Amy and Chad would have taken the kinks in stride. They are so enjoyable to be around, and share an enormous amount of love for one another - so it's no surprise that their wedding was nothing short of amazing.

In the car after the reception, Ben and I began recapping our day. "That's exactly how a wedding should be," I remember saying to him. Because it's true; nothing - not stress, not worry, not a schedule that's running behind, not bad weather - absolutely nothing should alter the happiness shared between a bride and a groom on the start of their life together a husband and wife. Amy and Chad's happiness was refreshing and contagious - and I'm absolutely confident that this happiness will trickle - no, overflow - into their marriage. :)

Below is the BlogShow of their day. I love that I can use the word "BlogShow" - the awesomeness of this thing is still sinking in. :)

Amy and Chad - You guys rock! We think that you're fabulous. We have seriously loved getting to photograph you both - in fact, we're hoping that you'll be calling us in the future when your family starts growing... ;)
