Alex and Harrison got hitched at Alex’s grandmother’s house—a fascinating home filled with all
sorts of artwork, trinkets and treasures.  (Can I borrow it?)  Their
outdoor ceremony was beautiful, sacred, and intimate.  They gave me
ample time to frolic on the campus of Mizzou and photograph them in
magic light, which I always love.
And their getaway vehicle, a convertible Ford Mustang, was sweeeeet!
(This lucky photog actually got a chance to drive it down country roads
the next day).  Oh, and the funfetti cake had to be my favorite food
item—such a smart idea!

What made this wedding special for me was I was truly surrounded by family.  I was sick as a dog the weeks leading up to it (African parasites!  Yay!), but it didn’t matter because my childhood friends took care of me all day. I couldn’t
drive because of my medication, so one of the groomsmen kindly drove me
from St. Louis to Columbia and became my personal escort for the wedding
day.  Emily and her sisters bought me all sorts of food (that they
deemed “my special diet”) for the wedding and days after; the mother of
groom (who used to be a nurse) expertly counseled me on my steps towards
recovery; and guests jokingly called me “the parasite girl,” which was
absolutely hilarious to me, and somewhat endearing.  It’s because of this love that I shot so well!
