And...We're Back!

After a long, tiring, stressful, emotional and definitely JOYFUL 5 days, we're back! My baby sister is officially married. We had a blast spending the week with her as we all prepared for her lakeside wedding. And it was absolutely GORGEOUS! The weather was perfect, the water was beautiful, the flowers were blooming. It looked like a fairy tale. And that's exactly what my sister wanted..she is our Cinderella. She wanted to be a princess that day and her wish came true. She definitely looked like one. After she had her first dance with Chase, she danced with my dad to "Dance with Cinderella" by Steven Curtis Chapman, and then Chase stole her away to dance with her again to "Stealing Cinderella." It was such a beautiful time. We all worked really hard..but it was very worth it.

And let me just tell you how amazing my photography assistants did. My sidekick and husband, Matt, and my sis-in-law, Leigh Ann, did AWESOME! Since I was actually in the wedding, it was hard to take photos, haha. I took all of the pre-ceremony photos and formal posed photos that I wasn't in..and Matt and Leigh Ann did the rest. I am so thankful for all of their hard work. You guys seriously did AWESOME! They both had different vantage points during the ceremony so we really got some amazing views of it all. I haven't edited any photos and have only glanced through half of them. So I don't have much to show you. So I will leave you with this photo I took of my gorgeous baby sister a couple of hours before she became Mrs. Chase Bell. I love you Shell Bell. (Oh, and get this...her nickname since she was young was always Shell Bell. And now her name is really Shelley Bell..so she's still our Shell Bell!)
