Rick & Lizzie - Wedding

The Thacker Family

With Dad, right before heading down the aisle.

Brent built the balloon arch for the reception.

 I loved the guest sign-in book that Lizzy designed with some of the pictures from the engagement session.

Rick gave Elizabeth an amazing wedding gift.  A handmade violin!  He named this particular violin the "Lizzie Grace" 

Brothers and pals.

Willie Wesco, being his usual cute self.

And they will live happily ever after! :o)

Rick & Elizabeth ~ 08/20/11

I had a wonderful time today, shooting the wedding of my sister to Mr. Rick Thacker.  The Lord blessed and held off the rain for the photography and we all enjoyed seeing these two people who are so in love get married.

More pictures in the future, but just a sneak peek for now!

Whew!  I was planning on just doing a sneak peek of the wedding, but I ended up doing the whole post and posting quite a few pictures!

This will be the last post on the wedding. (for now anyway)

I just want to say thank you again to Josh and Amanda Taylor and congratulations on your new life together!

Josh & Amanda - Reception

I love the willow tree figurines, but I had never seen one used as a cake topper.  Very neat! 

This picture was by special request for the father of the bride.  This is how it is after the wedding! lol  

I don't think they need any lessons in kissing, they've got it down! :o) 

Yes folks, this is what it looks like.  A bounce house!

When I heard that they were going to have a bounce house for the little kids at the reception, I knew we had to get a picture with the bride and groom inside.

After a few blurry pictures and hanging on to the sides of house for support, I managed to get a shot of some of the wedding party, Josh and Amanda.
