Whenever we watch Star Wars, we’re always hoping that Princess Leia ends up with Han Solo, even if we’ve seen the ending a million times.

Between the piercings and tattoos, I look a little more urban hip hop than country. At one point though, I longed for wide open spaces (enter OLD Dixie Chicks song here) and what I didn’t know is that I’d get the joy of photographing a wedding there. I met Dawn in elementary school, and when…
You can call it kismet, fate or a force of the universe. Sometimes the stars just align and we end up doing that one thing we really love no matter where we’re physically located at the time. This is one of those stories. It’s a story about that one time I crashed a wedding in…
