Mr. and Mrs. Westra

Last Saturday Jay and Lori were married and I was able to help Kellie Penn (Across the Miles Photography) cover the wedding. The day started at Sunset Hills Country Club in Edwardsville, Illinois, were both the guys and ladies got ready for the big day. Jay and Lori decided that they wanted to see each other before the wedding and we were able to capture the special moment when Jay saw his bride Lori for the first time. It was a beautiful moment when Jay laid eyes on Lori in her wedding dress. The whole day was amazing and beautiful. It was an amazing display of God grace and sovereign hand in all details of life!

Here are a few of my favorite photos from the day:



At every wedding the groomsmen always try to pull some practical joke on the groom to "encourage" or embarrass him before the wedding. Well Jay's groomsmen decided to write on his chest with Sharpe markers. The picture below captures Jay's soon to be father-in-law's message.




The guys decided to play a little blackjack before the wedding.



This picture was taken right after Jay and Lori saw each other for the first time on their big day.










Thanks Jay and Lori for letting Kellie and I capture your day!
