When we first met JoBeth and Jeremie, we knew we were going to LOVE working with them. These two have such awesome personalities, and they make the most adorable couple!! Eric and I had the honor of photographing their engagement session last fall, and I must admit, we are a little jealous that Kari is the one who was photographing the wedding… We just knew it was going to be awesome! But, as always, Kari did a fantastic job of capturing the details and emotions of the day! We were thrilled that Kara of Kara Leigh Photography was able to go with Kari, and between the two of them, the day was captured with perfection. The ceremony and reception took place at General Butler State Park… a fantastic location for a very natural wedding!

Jeremie and JoBeth chose to have a special moment before the ceremony to see each other for the first time, and even though I wasn’t there to witness it, I can tell from these images that they were both ecstatic to be getting married and so much in love with each other! Enjoy a few favorites from this first part of the day… more to come soon!

One of my favorite parts of a wedding is the Father/Daughter dance. It is what I believe to be one of the sweetest and most emotional moments of the whole day because you have a daddy dancing with his little girl who he has just had to let go.  However, it seems like brides seem to use some of the same songs over and over such as “Butterfly Kisses,” “I Loved Her First” and so on… However, Edwin McCain has come out with an new single “Walk With You” that would be perfect for a Father/Daughter dance that most people have not yet heard. Now I know Edwin McCain has not done much in the past couple of years and I personally think of him as the guy who’s songs were played a lot on the old show Dawson’s Creek, but believe me you should check out the song. It’s a father briefly explaining the life he has had with his daughter and what he wishes and hopes for her and her new husband. The lyrics are very truthful and I believe most fathers have had these same words running through their head in one way or the other on the day of their daughter’s wedding. Perfect song if you’re still looking for something to have that special moment with your dad!

Walk With You
(Edwin McCain, Maia Sharp)

I’ll take this slow sweet walk with you
You’ll let go of my hand to say “I do”
He will discover just how blessed a life can be
I know ‘cause all those years ago someone handed you to me

Every step that we take brings back the memories
Winter snows and horse shows and dancing on the beach
I can’t help thinking that I’m the lucky one
You’re still my baby daughter and now I’ve gained a son

I’ll take this slow sweet walk with you
You’ll let go of my hand to say “I do”
He will discover just how blessed a life can be
I know ‘cause all those years ago your mom handed you to me

Don’t miss a chance to put each other first
Now that you’ve vowed for better or for worse
Don’t let the beauty of this life pass you by
In the times of trouble you’ll stand side by side

I’ll take this slow sweet walk with you
You’ll let go of my hand to say ” I do”
I picture a slow sweet walk yet to be
When you’ll take my hand and say “Daddy come see”
Then you’ll know what it felt like
You won’t believe what it feels like
Then you’ll know what it felt like when she handed you to me.
She handed you to me
