Alex + Deb’s Outdoor Wedding, September 2014 | Rochester NY Wedding Photographer

It's always a special treat to shoot a wedding with all my friends and family present. I have known Alex and Deb for years as they are part of my church fellowship, and have seen them progress from dating to engaged to now married. And it is an honor to document their day. The ceremony was moving and emotional for everyone (myself included), followed by good food (catered from Moe's) and a fun reception. It also happened to be but one of three days this whole summer above 90 degrees.. it was hot out!

A few nervous moments before the ceremony

Best man could hardly keep from crying himself as Deb walked down the aisle

One of the nice aspects of the wedding is where any guest could get up and give a few words of encouragement to the couple. Here's their reaction to one person's advice..

Mandy got to add a few words too :)

Married!!

Not too proud to say my oldest son Evan has some dance moves..

Thank you for a wonderful time, some delicious tacos, pie and lemonade. Many blessings to you both, Alex and Deb, for your marriage is consecrated in the Lord.
