Before I share the beautiful pictures from Brittany and TJ’s wedding day, I wanted to tell you a bit about the couple.  They got to know each other pretty young.  Oddly enough, they met chaperoning for their older brother and sister who were then dating.  While that relationship didn’t last, theirs did!  since Brittany was a couple of years older than TJ, she waited to date him seriously until he turned 16.  One year later, she moved to go to college and although together – they’ve spent a lot of time apart since.  They dated for six years, not being able to be together for much of it.  Two years ago, TJ left to be a mormon missionary in Paraguay.  She wrote him every week for two years.  When he got back in October, she met up with him the next day and within 30 seconds they knew they were going to get married!

Back in 2007 they went on a vacation to Hawaii with TJ’s parents and decided then that was where they wanted to get married.  In December 2010, they made it happen!  Everything was perfect.  Although it rains a lot on the islands, it didn’t rain at all while we were there.  The wedding day was perfect.  It was a LDS temple ceremony  therefore, no pictures are taken during the actual wedding.  However, I shot a few of Brittany getting ready:

And some of the magnificent temple grounds during the ceremony:

Here are the newlyweds coming out of the temple doors:

SO HAPPY!

Brittany emailed me a few days ago and said that they are so happy.  Their wedding went perfectly and now they are enjoying finally being together!

Best of luck you guys and congratulations to you both!
