It’s always a pleasure when we get to work with Jim and his staff at Country Barn. This weekend we had the honor of photographing Tarah and Rob’s first day as husband and wife. These are just a few of the many special moments they shared with their family and friends!

As a mom, I can’t imagine the feelings I will have when I too watch my baby girl transform into a beautiful bride right before my eyes! I know for certain, Tarah’s parents couldn’t be more proud.

A first look between a father and his daughter is such a special moment. After documenting this one, there’s no denying that Tarah and her daddy have a very special relationship.

The smile on Rob’s face all day was unlike his smiles during their engagement session. This one was a smile of excitement, anticipation, and true longing to finally marry his beautiful bride. And although he couldn’t see her, these few minutes were so very touching!
