My good friend Ben got married Memorial Day weekend in Ord, NE.  It was REALLY windy and REALLY  hot!  Please bear with me while I post quite a few from their special day…There are 15 here out of over 400 that I edited!  No wonder my backside hurts!

I decided to use the stain glass in the church for the dress shot…Shawna didn’t even know I took these…I did them before she arrived…

This church had a balcony and I wanted to use it more than just for me to take pictures during the ceremony…

Very cool windows…

This is a cute shot of Shawna and her best girls!

Used another window for the shot of the rings…

They are so happy together and you can’t help but smile when you’re around them…well that and Ben is a total goof.  They are both teachers which is how I met Ben in the first place and teachers are very near and dear to my heart since everyone in my family is one…my mom, my dad, and my sister…

I never put a shot of the whole group on my blog…but this is quite a big group so I am proud to get them all in a photo and all smiling!

Another beautiful window…

I love when the minister turns the couple around for the kiss!  Makes for a much nicer photo!

You’re in the club Ben! 

The wind had calmed down some by the time the ceremony was over so we did get outside for a few…

This is my absolute favorite of the day…this one would make a really cool canvas!

Shawna’s dad was pretty serious during the family photographs before the wedding but he was all smiles when dancing with his daughter…

Aren’t they so cute…

Congratulations Ben and Shawna!  I wish you nothing but happiness in your new life together.  And you must be good friends because this is a record for me to get wedding photographs edited in just barely over a month!   Enjoy the rest of your summer!
