just as i had imagined...

Every little girl dreams of one day wearing a white dress, marrying her Prince Charming, and riding off into the sunset...

As far back as I can remember, Tabitha has been a part of my life.  Reaching into my deepest memories, I see us playing house and discussing our wedding plans.  I never knew what I wanted, but Tabitha - she did.  The color would be pink and she would wear a tiara.  We would giggle and imagine who our Prince Charming would be and what if he ended up being one of the little boys we grew up with???  Eww...gross!

This past Friday, however I watched my best friend marry a young man that we grew up along side.  A young man, whom I would have arguments and debates during lunch hours, so imagine my surprise when she informed me as a senior in high school that she liked him.  It soon became obvious come our college years that David was her match...her Prince Charming.

Their courtship had its up and downs but through it all, Tabitha never wavered and knew in her heart that he was the one for her.  I was so very proud to not only share a part in their wedding day, but also be their photographer and Tabitha's personal attendant!

I was able to accompany her to the salon while she was done up like Cinderella...

I helped her with the finishing touches of putting on her jewelry:

I spent the entire day photographing my best friend's fairy tale dream come true;

and I can honestly say it was one of the happiest days of my life.

They were a couple so in love and such a joy to shoot!

I love you both and I enjoyed every minute of your happily ever after.

{More of their wedding will be posted within the next few days on my photography blog}

Come see some of my photography over at Serendipity-Images.
