It was Monday, the week of Yosha and Nile's June wedding, and once again, I found myself checking my weather app on and off all day.

I'd already been to the location, a beautiful campsite with a breathtaking overlook of the river. The first time I was there, it rained. I was crossing my fingers the same wouldn't hold true for their wedding day.

I'm an optimist and, as the week went on, the weather started to turn in their favor. Of course, they had a backup plan but their wedding venue begged to be photographed, especially since they had opted for the perfect time of day - right around golden hour, when the sun casts its beautiful golden glow on anyone or anything that gets in its path.

About Thursday, I contacted their wedding planner, Lyndie Howard at Magnolia Moments. The couple would decide the final game plan Friday night.

I received word Saturday morning. Game on!

Saturday proved to be beautiful but the clouds still loomed early in the day. I loaded up the van with backdrops, gear and anything I needed IN CASE the wedding was to be moved inside.

Around 3 p.m., the dark clouds dissipated and the sun made its way to the forefront.

It was going to be a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding! I couldn't have been more thrilled.

There were so many special touches to their intimate wedding, I can't even begin to describe them all. From the eclectic mix of table decor set on colorful tablecloths to the handmade signs, guitar ensemble, chicken dinner and cobbler (you heard me) reception, and laid-back atmosphere, it was one of the neatest weddings I have ever attended, let alone photographed.

I have never seen a bride and groom smile throughout the entire process but Yosha and Nile did. There's just something special about when two people find each other and connect - magic!

Congratulations, Yosha and Nile! Thank you for allowing me to document your special day:)
