If you stop and think about it, there’s something really special about all the FIRSTS in life…first tooth, first step, first day of school, first “A”, first car… girl friend, etc. You’ll only have one first…whatever! The crazy thing is… we never really stop! I’m still discovering occasional firsts! In fact…each day is the first day of the rest of my life! I know, I know, very profound. I guess what I’m saying is…go out there and make the best of each day! Make each day count. Do what God is calling you to do…what He’s created you to do! …because today will be over and you’ll never have it again.

Meet Riley! He just turned one. As his neighbor, I’m excited to watch him grow up and witness some of his firsts. I can tell by the shine in his eyes that he’s ready to embrace life and whatever God has for him.

What a gorgeous day for a wedding! With mild temperatures, sunshine and a subtle breeze… it doesn’t get much better! Once again, I had the honor and privilege of assisting Char of Authentic.You.Photography in capturing the day’s events. I was charged with covering the guys in the morning at Comfort Suites in Exton. After grabbing some getting-ready shots we headed outside for a few of the Groomsmen. Jayce and his family are from Florida. He’s also the first of seven siblings to get married!

We left there and met up with Char and Tawanda at the church who came from covering the bride and bridesmaids at the house. The ceremony was officiated by the groom’s father.

The reception location was absolutely beautiful! Welkinweir is a beautiful estate hidden in a lush valley overlooking a small lake. It provided many possibilities for great photos. I only wished the “golden hour” was a golden 2 hours! Even more beautiful than the location was the way Jayce and Nicole looked and smiled at each other. It was a pleasure working with them! Jayce and Nicole — God bless you guys as you begin your new life together!
