Wedding: Lynn and Bill – 9/15/12 Columbus, IN

December 10, 2012

I’m not sure where to even begin talking about how amazing these two people are. Don’t get me wrong- I love all my couples, but this wedding and their love story had me in tears a couple of times! I first met Bill and Lynn at the Columbus Republic Bridal Show. Bill and I instantly bonded over our love of Macs since he had just gotten the newest iPad and I was super jealous. I wasn’t sure if I would hear from them again, as they were older than my average couple. But I hoped that I would because I like them right away. I was lucky enough to get a call from them a couple months later about shooting their wedding and I could tell instantly that this was going to be one I’d never forget.

I met up with them in May for their engagement session (you can see that HERE). Afterwards we headed to Zwanzig’s for some pizza and to chat about the wedding. And so begins the emotions…. Bill told me the story of how he met Lynn after being in a car accident. She was his physical therapist and quickly became much more than that. He told me the story of how he proposed to her and it brought me to tears in the restaurant. I left there and thought to myself – this is what love is and I am so unbelievably lucky to be shooting this wedding. This is the reason I do what I do.

I know I’m getting a little mushy on you guys, but I can’t help it. I partially blame Bill because he is an emotional guy and I can’t see a grown man cry and not cry myself! They got married on a gorgeous September afternoon at First Christian Church in Columbus. And true to form – it was an emotional one. I LOVE this church. It has such amazing light. We traveled around town for some photos before heading off to the reception in Hope to celebrate with their guests.

I was truly honored to be able to capture this wedding. I can only hope that I can find half of the happiness that these two have in their relationship 🙂

Here are some of my favorites from the day!

Ok I lied – this might be my favorite image of the day

Loved the reception entrance they did. I’d never seen these rice puffs before, but they were in the shape of hearts and safe for the birds – win, win!
