I don’t even know where to start with this wedding.  My best bet is to keep the words brief, since I took so many pictures and had the hardest time editing them down!!

There were a few themes of the evening.  One of which was family.  The wedding took place on Anthony’s parents property.  It is such a beautiful location, and to have it mean so much to them was just magical…  The altar had been previously used for Anthony’s sisters wedding 10 years ago.  All of the awesome wood details were either from a tree off Terra’s father’s property or Anthony’s parents.  So much of the planning and execution was made possible due to their amazing family and friends.

The 2nd theme was that it was “a long time coming” 🙂  Everyone joked about the fact that the first time they dated was over 15 years ago, and have been going strong for the last 6.  It is obvious that they know each other so well, yet you’d swear they were still in the newly dating phase!  They light up whenever they are around each other, and it is evident in just about every picture I took.  THAT was why it was so hard choosing which pictures to post.

Enough about that.  Enjoy their day…

Think Anthony is excited to see his bride for their first look? 🙂Are you kidding me with this view??  This used to be Anthony’s grandparents property, but they sold it a while back.  The woman was kind enough to let them do their first look here.  So many special memories, and so many more now…Love that while I was taking this…My mom got these 🙂Terra, you look STUNNING!!!!And so happy!!!  Seriously, did your cheeks hurt the next day? 🙂Which one of these doesn’t belong…?An altar overlooking a river?  YES, PLEASE!It’s show time!Anthony’s sister, Heather, said she was going to try and get through the reading without crying.  Yeah, good luck with that 🙂Married!!So many great speeches!Troy and Scotty are seriously the best!  Not only great DJ’s, but ridiculous entertainers!Not a dry eye in the house when Terra’s dad surprised her with a song.  Including me boo hooing behind the camera.  It’s a shock these aren’t all fuzzy…No boring dances in this family!I cannot thank you enough for having me part of such a special evening.  Wishing you many many more years of happiness!

BIG thank you to my mom for 2nd shooting with me.  You are the photographic yin to my yang, and I appreciate all your help 🙂
