Zach and Gretchen are married! Chris knew Zach since before we met and I met Gretchen at WinShape Retreat. She works for their foster homes. They are dear friends. Gretchen has been by my side and we’ve had many meaningful long talks in the last few years. She is a gem, there is no other way to say it. She is amazing and paired with an equally amazing person, Zach. What a joy it is to capture a day when our friends say their vows. It was incredibly meaningful and I tried to keep back the tears during the ceremony. We love you guys and respect you more than we can express. You are an inspiration to all around you.

We love to capture the little aspects of family presence. Here is Gretchen’s Great Grandmother’s bible that she carried with her down the isle.
She wore the necklace that her mother wore on her wedding day.
I love this moment of Zach getting ready, collecting himself.
Their first moments together.
What a gorgeous bride she was.
Gretchen gave Zach a pocket watch as his wedding present. He was so excited about it.
A tender moment of prayer surrounded by family.
We normally stay far away during the ceremony. Gretchen asked us to be closer. We hid Chris (no one could find him), but he was able to get these amazing shots!
I love this moment of Gretchen’s dad giving her away. With her family around and her mother in the background.
What a joy it was for Gretchen’s brother to marry her. It was incredibly emotional for everyone.
Mr. and Mrs. Harter looking gorgeous together.
Their first dance.
The reception was at the Ford Dinning Hall on the Berry College Campus.
The grand exit.
Such sweet farewells to family. What an emotional exit it was to see them leave.
Zach and Gretchen, what an honor it was to be a part of your day. May God continue to bless you.
Love,
Chris and Katie
This has been one of the best weddings I have seen in a long time. Your slideshow was amazing and it inspired me.
That exit shot is just amazing!
Cheers!

Gorgeous! I am so impressed with the slideshow images – what an awesome body of work the bride and groom now have to document their amazing day. You two are spectacular!

Hi guys
You have no idea who I am, but I’m a fellow pro-photog in Australia (www.blissphotography.com.au) and I just have to say ‘Wow – double Wow!!’
Your next to last image, with the bride and groom’s exit is the best wedding image I have ever seen, ever.
It totally captures the starting of a new life together, the end of a beautiful day, the finale to a once in a lifetime party.
I just had to post something, its amazing.
You need to have this HUGE somewhere, you need to sell it to a stock agency, something. Its amazing.
Debbie
