He trotted off with his mates for a morning pint, while she gathered her girlfriends for updos at the salon. Carolynn, true to character, triple-checked dozens of itineraries for the day with massive curlers intact. Stafford, being the thoughtful gentlemen he is, busily handed off gifts to place in the girls’ room. The couple’s closest friends and family journeyed south to find beautiful weather and constant entertainment in Key West, FL.

The day presented a few kinks, but once the two were hand-in-hand, man and wife, it was obvious nothing could distract the love they share and the importance of their day. Carolynn adores being in Stafford’s presence, breathing him in, and Stafford’s gentle whispers and soft touch instantly put her nerves at ease. To these qualities, I applaud, and pray you continue to encourage and strengthen one another.

Carolynn and Stafford – We were so blessed to be part of your wedding. We left feeling much more than photographers. Your family and friends were beyond wonderful, and we enjoyed getting to know each, and every, one. Just let us know when you plan a reunion… we’ll be sure to book the Garden of Eden early. Love you!!
