Locations and plans seemed to change weekly, but their day was beautiful, and love and joy (which is quite appropriate!) was evident in every moment. You'll see it in the photos. This couple is meant for each other, and I'm so excited to watch their love grow and deepen, holding hands and still walking through life together with gray hair and wrinkles in 40 years.
Joy's wedding was especially exciting for me. I first met Joy in 2004 when she was a summer intern at the church where I worked. It was also the summer I first connected with Conor (who married me a year later - yay!). She had known Conor growing up, and we both remember the day after our first date when I pulled Joy into the photocopy room and almost exploded with excitement and all the details! There were many more photocopy room talks that summer! Last year, when Tobi and Joy began dating, Joy was again the summer intern at the same church. I don't work there any longer, but we had a handful of those conversations again... with Joy doing most of the squealing this time!
There were less than 20 people at the wedding (including the bride, groom and wedding party), so I was very grateful I could take part in the day through photography... which is actually the best way. I got to be with Joy all day!
