Barn at Valhalla by Lacey R Butler

When I met Sharon, I was immediately put at ease because she’s real. She’s beautiful, sophisticated, and somehow still down to earth. She’s just friendly good people, as they say. I believe she’s a dietician, and it took quite a bit of effort not say how do I easily lose this weight I’m gaining from eating and drinking every night, all night long? Even I know the answer to that one… Anyway, Sharon told me she and Jim had been good friends for a while, and I got the sense it was a blossomed slowly into things that won their hearts over to one another.

On Christmas Eve I found myself eager not for presents under trees, or even at that moment for the celebrations later with my children, but to see this very handsome couple wed. It is always a gift to do what I do.

The only ones at their private elopement ceremony were the minister, her brother as a witness, and myself. I doubled as a photographer and witness extraordinare. Always an honor to be at a wedding, let alone to sign as witness. Thank you both for choosing to work with me on your beautiful day.

Venue: the Barn at Valhalla

Flowers: Fallons Flowers
