Wedding Story: Amber and Kris

It's officially wedding season for us here at Story Photographers! Saturday we kicked off 2010 with a fun, family filled wedding in Jacksonville, NC. Amber is David's cousin- the baby girl on that side of David's family. Everyone in the family was so excited to welcome Kris into the Teeter/Troupe/Hancock gang. Some people told us they thought we should have an easy since we were shooting for family- this was true in that not a thing went wrong and everyone was so genuinely happy for these two. However it was very important to me to still give Amber and Kris quality photography because HELLO I have to live with these people forever :) So not only do you get to see Amber and Kris' wedding day story, you also get a glimpse of David's sweet family!

I count 4 Ambers in this one...

... HELLO her hair looked rockin'

Amber could not, COULD NOT stop smiling. You couldn't pay her.

Look at me cheesin'! Hanging out in the girl's room with Joyce (bride's aunt, David's mom), Katie (David's brother's girlfriend), and David&Amber's Meemaw!

A sweet gift from the groom...

Amber and her Daddy waiting to go down the aisle...

If you have been following this blog for awhile you know that I just love a man that can sow some emotion... there were plenty of those men at this wedding!

Look at how precious Kris was when he saw Amber come down the aisle...

David got to sit down the camera and sing a song

that is important to us during the ceremony...

I had to jump in and grab a shot with the beautiful bride :)

The wedding was on base and there were some

beautiful views of the water and natural areas...

I do not have many regrets so far in my short life

but I do regret not dancing with my Dad when he was alive...

Amber and her Daddy had everyone in tears!

When David showed me this cake shot he took I wanted to kiss him.

I think I did.

Being the best man and catching the garter is hard work.

David and I got a chance to do a little dancing...

and MAN did David work it out.

And so did David's Mom!

(Hey Joyce! Just HAD to show the world how much

you and David can be two peas in a pod)

David's sweet parents...

Amber and her Mom wore matching hair accessories

Closing shots...

Amber and Kris entering their home for the first time as husband and wife!

Kris has turned their garage into a serious man-cave...

and OFCOURSE I had to take advantage of this :)

Amber was SO excited about her Metallica Converses...

DISCLAIMER: I personally can't stand cigarette smoke...

however, Amber is a smoker and so I just had to work

in the badass factor with her laying on that bar!

Amber and Kris: Hope you are lounging on the beaches of Key West soaking up the sun for us up here in NC! David and I were so excited to be such a big part of your beautiful wedding day. Kris you are such a perfect addition to the family and we are thrilled to have you- it is beautiful how much you love Amber and respect her. WE LOVE YOU GUYS!!
