They bring out the best in each other- easy smiles, frequent laughter, a relaxed presence. Just watch them interact for a short minute or two and you’ll get it, you’ll understand why they chose forever together. The morning of their wedding dawned cool and misty in the English countryside, with threats of rain looming in the gray sky outside Deanna’s window. But for someone who’d been planning their wedding for nearly two years, Deanna didn’t sweat it at all- “we’ll be married at the end of the day, and that’s really all that matters.” She was at peace- totally calm, just excited to see him waiting for her at the end of the aisle. And when they finally met in the 1100-year-old church where they were to say their vows, he couldn’t take his eyes off of her.

James & Deanna, I don’t know how to begin to express my thanks for having been the one to document your love over the past year. It’s been such a joy to watch you two interact, and I, along with everyone else present, couldn’t keep a smile off my face throughout your entire wedding day. It was something straight out of a fairy tale, and I will forever count myself as blessed to know you both and call you friends!
