The first thing that comes to mind when I think of Talia and Joshua and their wedding is sunshine… and I don’t mean the weather related kind because the weather forecast for the day of their wedding was concerning to say the least. They chose the beautiful Cross Creek Ranch for their ceremony because of it’s beautiful outdoor location, and yet it seemed it was fated to rain. I think it was absolutely fitting that despite this, the sun came out for these two on May 16th and it was an absolutely perfect day! The truth is… sunshine, happiness, laughter and joy seem to follow this couple wherever they go… and on this day their many friends and loving family gathered round to share in their glow.

So many of the details from this wedding were made by Talia and her family… and I just love that! Notice the beautiful hand lettered signs, and the adorable wooden tags on the gift boxes. Everywhere you looked there were things that reminded you of how much thought, preparation and love went into this day. And that is the other thing that comes to mind when I think of this wedding… the love amongst everyone there. It emanated from Talia and Joshua at it’s center… but their family and friends overflowed with it as well… and I have to say, I don’t think I’ve ever seen a mother-of-the-bride happier for her little girl! Every time I looked at Talia’s mom Paula she was glowing with pride and joy. Talia was walked down the aisle by both her Father and her Step Father and it was beautiful… and the kindness and respect with which they all treated each other was so lovely. Josh’s parents were equally supportive and the prayer circle during the ceremony involving all five parents was such a moving part of the day. And there was laughter… so much laughter! Talia and Josh enjoyed every minute of their day and there were laughter and tears mingled together during their ceremony.

Talia and Josh’s bridal party consisted mainly of a core group of friends that have been together since high school! It says so much about this couple to have so many people who love and support them.

I am an incurable romantic and am adamant about taking adequate time for the couple photos on the wedding day… after all… that’s what it is all about… right?! These two are so enamoured with each other that that part was easy!

This reception was such a ball! There was amazing food, music and company and everyone danced into the night… I was especially charmed at the way Talia danced with her dad’s… singing the whole time!

Talia and Josh you will always be dear to us and I feel confident we will always be friends! You have spilled your sunshine onto Celeste and I and we were honored to be your wedding photographers! xoxo
