If Leigh and Pete had a wedding every weekend, I wouldn’t complain… this wedding was SO much fun to be a part of! Their 19 person wedding party definitely had a lot to do with the fun factor – even though it was a scorching hot day they were up for piggy back races, bridesmaids pyramids and all sorts of silliness. We had the most magical light for the bride & groom photos and these two barely needed any direction – they just fit together perfectly! From day one Leigh told me she wanted her wedding to be a rockin’ howdown with family & friends and that’s exactly what it was – these two certainly know how to throw a party, I’ve never seen such an awesome dance party! Thanks so much Leigh and Pete for having us be a part of your wonderful wedding day!
