Leigh and Kristian’s Claxton Farm Wedding!

Leigh and Kristian were married at Claxton Farms on a beautiful July day. I have to say this couple is dear to my heart for the very reason that they know how to laugh and have a good time. Their smiles light up a room and they are so very kind to all that know them. There are so many shots of them that capture evidence of this that I had a hard time narrowing down the “moment shots” for this blog post!

Starting on the day I met them last fall while photographing their engagement photos I knew that we would get along famously. Crazy, awesome chemistry, easy going, and the feeling that you are hanging out with long time friends made me glad to have the privilege of photographing them.

Leigh and Kristian have two pit bull dogs whom are such sweeties. Of course they had to be a part of the wedding party!

Kristian and the bridal party rode a bus from their hotel to the farm. Michael hitched a ride with them to capture these fun moments.

So much laughter and fun moments. It was a journalistic photographer’s playground.

Kristian said he was rethinking the wool suit in July once he arrived but I have to say he rocked it with his feather bow tie, sunglasses, and hat. Rock on Kristian, rock on! The pictures last longer than the heat does. 🙂

The “lets not see each other but say hi” shot around the side of the door.
