Dreanna & JJ Belting

First off- I want to give a huge shout out and THANK YOU to Katie Raivala for helping me shoot. Eight weeks ago I broke my ankle and, being as generous of a person she is, she contacted me asking if she could help me in any way. Well, she sure helped me out. It was such an amazing relief to have her shooting along side with me- running around the entire getting the shots I'd normally get but were just so difficult with crutches. Thank YOU! I even learned a few extra shots by shooting with her! When my foot heals I want to do some more second shooting :)

On to the wedding:

Dreanna and JJ are a super sweet couple. I've known JJ since I was in 7th grade- he was a volunteer junior high leader at Church. What I've known ever since then is his character- his ability to be "chill"- his smile- and how much he cares about others and builds people up. He is the type of person you love being around because you can have fun but in a positive way. I wasn't quite sure what to think of JJ (he was kinda crazy) getting married, I wondered what this "Dreanna" would be like. After our initial meeting at Brueggers Bagels I heard a bit of their story. It was a relief to know JJ had found someone good- great- perfect for him.
It may have been a gray overcast cool and windy day, but it couldn't stop Dreanna and JJ's love from shining bright. The way they gazed into each others eyes, the smirk that spread across their faces and turned into a full fledged smile- it's inspiring. Seeing a couple so in love is just inspiring, not just as a photographer- but really as human beings. We as humans were designed to love each other, and they have found THE love of their life. I am so blessed to be capturing these moments- Thanks Dreanna and JJ! ~Enjoy~
