Autumn Wedding

One of my oldest and best friends was married this past weekend. I suppose I should clarify when I say she's one of my oldest friends ... it's because I've known her for a long time, not because she's old! She and I met in 8th grade, we went to high school for 4 years together and roomed together for 4 years of college.

In the past 5 years, my dear friend has battled and defeated a 3 very serious health issues. Last year she met the love of her life, and she is now living her happily ever after.

I was not her wedding photographer, but I took my camera along, of course, and took all kinds of pictures. I really struggled with the lighting on some of these pictures, but they turned out okay.

Also, with all of the orange in these pictures, I'm entering them for this week's "Orange" photo challenge over at You Capture.

One of my friends took a picture of our family for us with my camera before the reception started.
