How did you meet?

We met through a mutual friend who went from kindergarten – 12th grade with Christie and then went to medical school at Vanderbilt with Evan.  We were friends for years first – but once we saw the light, we knew we’d found “IT.”

I will be posting Christie’s bridal session at a later date but here’s a little preview

She got ready at her parent’s home…

The groom finished up his preparations at the home as well!

What was your favorite moment during the day?

We were filled with joy all day long!  We loved our first moment together – and we could barely take the smiles off our faces for a second after that. From a beautiful, joy-filled ceremony to a fun reception, filled with our family and friends and lots of dancing!

and thank you to Christie’s sister, Elizabeth – I photographed her wedding back in 2003!

the horah!

What next for you as a couple?

Evan is taking Christie on a surprise “mini-moon” the weekend after the wedding.  We leave today and I still don’t know where we’re heading – he’s packing for me.  All I know is I can take our sweet puppy, Nash!!!
