A beautiful wedding to be remembered

Eight years ago I met Collin when he joined the rescue squad. He was such a respectful young man who I immediately adored. He quickly became another one of my favorite rescue kids. I watched as he and Val fell in love while saving lives. She is a sweet soul who brightens a room when she enters. I was honored when they called to tell me they were getting married and wanted me to photograph the event. Today an intimate group of family and friends gathered to watch as two became one. The setting could not have been any more perfect. From the personalized place settings with a sweet message to each guest to the fun gift bags of the Mill Mountain Hokie blend coffee beans, each detail was carefully planned. The audible gasp as Val made her entrance expressed just how beautiful she looked. Collin couldn't take his eyes off his beautiful bride. As I looked around the room, eyes glistened with tears of joy and smiles were on every face. The love for this couple was clear. I have no doubt that every one in that room will make sure this couple understands the real meaning of love and will support their love for each other the rest of their lives. Congratulations Captain and Mrs. Collin Hu. I love you both very much. Thank you for allowing me to share in your beautiful day.
