First of all, look at this beautiful cake!  Pam’s cousin made it herself.  The next time I need a cake, I know who to call!

Pam’s bridesmaids gave one of the most unique toasts I’ve ever heard, beginning with the act of handcuffing the bride and groom together!

I loved the table settings at this wedding, especially the little pears.

Radford University did the catering, and everything looked so delicious… especially the pie.

I rented some new gear for this wedding, including a LensBaby Composer, which is a funny little lens that you can tilt around different directions to get crazy effects like this:

It’s not generally my style, but I did use it for some ring shots.

John and Pam were joined by tons of friends and family, who danced and dined and otherwise partied the night away.

Lexi’s boyfriend caught the garter. I think John threw it his direction!

Lots of times I amuse myself by taking pictures of other people taking pictures.  I don’t usually get to catch the bride in the act!

I love this next photo of the rice.

    Natalie, I cant tell you how happy we are that we choose you to be our photographer! I loved working with you and your photos speak for themselves. Thank you so much for capturing the special moments of our special day! I’m amazed at your ability to find the most interesting pics in the most unusual ways. I would have missed so much if you weren’t there to capture it for me. Thank you again!! Pam

    I definitely agree on the detail shots – they’re great. I love the rings on the pine cone, such a cute idea for a fall wedding!

    Natalie, Beautiful! I’ve shown these pictures to several friends and they all agree that you did an awesome job capturing the moment(s). One girl is very interested in having you do her wedding. Although it might be a while, she doesn’t even have a ring yet! Great job!
