Rina & Brad :: Married!! – Carman Wedding Photography

I love country weddings so much, with beautiful scenery and fields and so much natural beauty! Brad & Rina live in Carman, and most of their wedding day was in nearby Homewood, at Brad’s parents’ house and in the areas around there. There was the most gorgeous wheat field just behind their house, oh so wonderful!! And such a picturesque wedding ceremony on the front lawn, and then a fun tent set up in the backyard, I loved it!

I started out the day with Rina and the girls, they were all so relaxed and laid-back and just having fun! Then some sweet tears fell when Rina put her dress on – she looked so beautiful and was so excited to see Brad! My wonderful friend Dorian Senkow started the day with Brad for both some getting ready photos, and some very cool posed photos of Brad in the wheat field and around his parents’ yard, and then they headed over for Brad to see his bride for the first time that day! Rina was so cute and was peeking out the window at Brad, and she kept exclaiming that he looked like James Bond! And then they had their First Look and I absolutely love the expressions on Brad’s face, and emotion in his eyes, when he saw Rina – I love those moments so much! We headed off then for lots of photos of Rina and Brad, and then met up with the wedding party for lots of fun. Then it was off to Brad’s parents’ house for some relaxation before the ceremony began. And the ceremony – there was emotion and laughter, especially when Rina almost put Brad’s ring on the wrong hand! It was so beautiful! And then the fun and beautiful reception, and there were some seriously funny speeches, especially by Rina’s brother who had the whole crowd laughing so many times!
