When we recently introduced you to Laurie & Michael after their Engagement Session (see it here), we told you how they met.  They're both teachers; Laurie teaches 4th grade and Michael 5th (at the same school too - it's how they met - and many of their students were present for the ceremony - see below).

So right off the bat, we're kinda partial to their commitment to our community but what we can't possibly portray to you in pics is their amazing and real love for each other; it's beyond obvious.  But what's even MORE obvious than their love for their calling, their students and obvious love for each other is their love for their Creator.

We have a first for any wedding we've ever covered; a worship service that commenced just after Laurie's dad gave her away to Michael.  A worship service with a full worship band complete with Bride & Groom holding each other's hands while raising the other to their Heavenly Father as they tearfully worshiped together as soon-to-be husband and wife.  Did I say they had tears?  Um - so did everyone, including us.

We cannot tell you how thankful we are to have been part of your day Laurie & Michael.  Thank you for your trust.

Here are a few of our favs from your amazing day.  Enjoy.
