Greg & Charis :: Wedding

I love a good engagement story...

I love hearing how people are brought together either by mutual friends, random "perfect" events taking place, twin brothers who fall in love with sisters (yes, that has happened), being friends already for many years, or whatever the reason. It's nice to hear people's "LOVE STORIES," as I call them. What girl doesn't like to hear them? We all picture it in our heads "oooo'ing" and "awwwww'ing" and smiling as big as can be, just knowing that both of those people are so in love.

What's even better is that everyone has a different one to tell, and ALL are so special!

I love Greg & Charis's "love story"!

I love how they met at church and knew right away that they liked each other, those "like" feelings turned into "more", those "more" feelings turned into "Will You Marry Me?" feelings, and those "Will You Marry Me?" feelings have now turned into "I DO!" feelings. The best thing yet is that their story is not yet over... it's only just beginning!

It was an honor to be a part of Greg & Charis's wedding. They were married at their home church, Oakland Hills Community Church, and what a beautiful church it is. From the outside to the inside to the people, you can tell it was filled with TONS of family and friends with all the warm hugs and kind words they received. Both Greg & Charis are two of the sweetest, most kind, and considerate people, so it was no surprise they have so much love and supporters there to witness their special day! Especially when it came to their dessert reception, friends and family all pitched in and brought lots of great snacks and treats... SOOO yummy!!!

I love how great they are together! They are so cute and just wanted to hold each other so close, which helped a lot when we went outside for a few "outdoor"photos. It was snowing a bit, so they did not mind what so ever. I love how great of spirits they had when it came to stepping outdoors for a few, despite the snow and the cold. Not only were they troopers and adorable and sweet and perfect together, but GREAT news... last time we shot at wedding at this exact location, we pulled up, I grabbed my bags and out came one of my most expensive lens's, BUT not this time! Greg and Charis are my lucky charm!

We had so much fun and felt so loved and one of the guests, it was such a great way to end our 2010 wedding season!

A HUGE Congratulations and Thank you to you guys... we are SOOOO happy for you two and hope Hawaii was amazing and WARM! Plus, we loved being a part of your special day!
