Some people just make you feel happy when you are around them–their joy for life is contagious and after minutes of being around them you feel joyful too. Ben and Stephanie are those kinds of people and it wasn’t just because it was their wedding day and they got to marry their best friend–but that certainly helped :).

I tend not to be an overly emotional person…..okay not true…..I tend not to be an overly emotional person during happy events (that is my hubby’s job, but catch me during any animal movie and the tears ever floweth). Today was an exception, however. Witnessing Ben see Stephanie for the first time in her wedding dress and how incredibly in love these two are made me choke up. Perhaps after 6 years of marriage Jeff is starting to rub off on me, but I think it was more because it was just so refreshing and beautiful to see giddy love between a bride and groom.

Ben and Stephanie–may God bless you richly with many many happy years together as husband and wife. It was an honor to photograph your special day!
