abby+zach wedding

abby contacted me last fall when she got engaged and i KNEW we'd get along well when she told me she "loved the way I captured emotion and that's what she wanted in her wedding images." 
Well... I hope I came through and created an entire wedding day of captured emotion, Abby!
It was SUCH an amazing wedding day.. it was a classic, elegant, gorgeous event. Abby is a riot and loves to have fun and Zach's emotion through the day was the sweetest. Zach had a big wedding week.. he graduated from grad school to become a physical therapist, got a new job at a hospital and married Abby! All within 6 days. =)
Enjoy their images!  It was just a beautiful day all around!

sometimes the best shots are when people don't know the camera is clicking...

new take on the "bridal party jumping" picture.. 
just the boys jumped. =)

one of my favorite bridal party pics.. abby and zach walking away from their goofball best friends. 

first glances are always emotional but seem to take the pressure off seeing each other at the altar. I am a huge fan of first glances!

Abby's mom prayed for the day before Abby walked down the isle.. just loved these images...

her daddy giving away his only daughter.. 

the new mr. and mrs. lusk! Now off to the reception...

but first a selfie for social media..
but of course. 

abby and zach's wedding was so classy.. and the Lerner Ballroom was PERFECTLY eloquent! 

abby and zach and their entire wedding party had epic entrances to the reception. adult onsies, silly string, making a tux shirt a bit more hillbilly.. and Zach's representation of his love for IU.. yeah, it was FUN!

both speaches had their guests laughing and crying. =)

Yep! Hillbilly-dress-shirt groomsman is back tricking Zach with the garter. 
Good clean fun, folks!

such an awesome, awesome, AWESOME day!
Thanks for choosing me to be apart of it, Abby and Zach!
