One year and two months ago we were swaying back and forth in our hammocks as our boat traveled down a river in Amazon River basin. We slept next to each other in hammocks, and with about 18 other people including Travis and Collin, as we traveled and put on children’s programs, assisted in medical clinics and even pulled teeth! Look, I have proof! I was already engaged and planning my wedding and we shared silly details while she told me about her boyfriend Matt. Several months later, Matt asked Naomi to be his wife! We celebrated and laughed as the number of single people on our team dwindled! In March, Naomi and Matt, along with several other team members celebrated with Josh and me at our wedding!
It’s wonderful how God brings people together. I was so excited when Naomi contacted me about being a part of her wedding by being her photographer. The ceremony was just perfect. Naomi’s father gave a challenge to them individually and the one he gave Naomi struck my heart and challenged me to be a better wife! They had planned on a simple, nature themed wedding and pulled it off beautifully. The reception site was perfect, the food was great, the dancing was spirited and the joy their friends and family had for them was contagious. Thank you so much for letting me share this with you guys!
I couldn’t get over how stunning she was.
I love this picture because of the out of focus man on the right who looks as though she truly took his breath away!
Matt built this arbor as well as everything that was used to decorate the ceremony site.
…and just like that, they were husband and wife.
The music for their first dance was provided my some friends and couldn’t have been more perfect for them.
So many wonderful details!
Tables 11 & 12 brought the action on the dance floor!
A quick picture together before they made their grand exit!
Congratulations my friends. May God bless you as you serve him together!
