i had promised myself that i was not taking any more work for 2013 when an inquiry to shoot a wedding on christmas eve came through. i’d met barbara and john before at their son matt’s wedding in key west almost 5 years ago and so when she asked me to shoot her wedding on christmas eve, i threw my shutdown on taking more work out the window and put some consideration into it. i’d worked with them before and had a great time so i figured it’d be an interesting way to spend my holiday.
barbara and john have each been married before… to each other…almost 50 years ago, but they divorced after many years only to be separated for a few. they’ve been back together for 20 years and decided to officially tie the knot once again….
they surrounded themselves with her father, their 5 children and their 18 grandchildren…
i love the progression of how siblings pose with one another as they get older…
krista and matt with their two cuties, paige and corbin…
cutie pie…
corbin just did this on his own… no prompting, so cute…
the youngest of 6 kids… when you don’t smile, your siblings will make you. and one day you will get them back, especially when you see the photo documentation of your torment…
barbara and john officially married one another again in their daughters living room, officiated by their son with their family surrounding them…
the girls getting ready to catch the bouquet…
test driving grandma’s wedding shoes…
when i left the family was all gathered around watching old home movies of barbara and john and the kids…
i’m honored to have been able to step inside another family’s home on christmas eve to document a very special day for them…
