I remember Maggie as a little girl of four.  One day I was visiting her folks and she climbed up on the back of my truck to pet my Maggie (our chocolate lab).  I believe both Maggies were pleased to have the same name.  Over the years, I had the privilege of watching her grow up and then of being her teacher in high school.  She was a most challenging student in that she could never take anything at face value.  She wanted to know.  She absolutely devoured and loved Thoreau!  Yeah, right. 

I want to take credit for the weather on this day.  It was sunny and mild.  It got a bit warm in the sun by afternoon, but it was perfect for pictures.  El and I took over 1,600 pictures of the wedding party and families and guests.    We shot down along the river and up on scenic overlook near Genoa.  The wedding party was a blast to work with.  Ellen shot pictures of the gals at the Beckers while the guys got dressed here at Grouse Hollow.  We had fun shooting pool table shots and a mock fight scene up in the tobacco shed using chainsaws and axes as weapons!  There was no blood shed! 

The service was special and we were able to steal the couple at sunset to run back to the river for some end of the day shots.

Thank you Maggie and Tim for letting us be a part of your most special day. 

We received a cool thank you card from Maggie and Tim.  Here's what they wrote:

"Thank you so much for everything! We had such a fun time taking pictures with you. I talked to everyone in the wedding party and they loved taking the pics. We are so appreciative of the memories you helped us create!"

"Thank you guys for all your positiveness in takng pictures. You made the day so stress free and fun! We had a great time and love the pictures! You are both wonderful :)"
