Taylor ~ Pigg Wedding: 11.11.11

11.11.11: This is the date that not only will Doug and Leann Taylor remember forever as the day they said "I do", but also the day that I will always remember for having the opportunity to capture the images of their special day ... my first wedding! :)  I met Doug and Leann through another couple in our Sunday School class at church.  Leann contacted me several months ago about taking pictures for their wedding, and I must admit that I was nervous.  Once we began discussing the details and I found out that she was planning a small ceremony, I felt like this would be the perfect opportunity to get my feet wet in the "wedding pool".  The 7pm wedding had a peacock theme (ABSOLUTELY beautiful!) and included Doug's son Zack and cousin Michael, Leann's best friend Barbie and nephew Gaven, along with Maggie who is the daughter of the couple responsible for introducing me to the Bride and Groom.

Leann was so easy to work with, and looked stunning on the big day.  Her bouquet (which she made herself) was gorgeous!  It included a "T" for Taylor, a picture of her grandparents, a bracelet that was her grandmother's, and the necklace that her own mother wore on her wedding day.

Doug, while quiet for much of the time I was around, looked amazing as well (the perfect compliment to the beautiful bride).  He, along with Zack were naturals in front of the camera.

The beautifully decorated reception offered a delicious "potato bar" with all the fixin's, and lovely peacock themed cupcake tree in lieu of a traditional wedding cake.

Doug and Leann, I am so grateful for your faith in my ability and willingness to be my "guinea pigs" for lack of a better term.  I wish you both MANY YEARS of happiness!
