A year before their wedding Laura and I met at Starbucks to talk about her wedding photography.  She was hoping for a June 2nd wedding, but was unsure since Brandon was in Iraq at the time.  Brandon finally made it home...or stateside, I guess you could say.  Texas isn't exactly Greenwood.  I was thrilled to be able to do their engagement session last September.  I love seeing my wedding couples together before the big day!  These two were awesome.  It was fun to follow Laura's wedding planning on facebook.  Then we got to meet again a little bit before the wedding, and I got to see in person what she'd been up to the last year.  She had been extremely busy!  The only thing left to do was plan a honeymoon, and that was up in the air until Brandon learned how long he was going to get away.  Oh, and she also had to plan on moving...where...she didn't know.  Not long before the wedding she texted me to say she would be moving to Texas, and...get this....leaving after the wedding.  Crazy!  I knew they were both excited about the wedding, and I couldn't wait until their wedding to see everything in place.

Brandon's mom passed away suddenly at the end of 2011.  I know this was a major heartbreak for all of her family.  It was so touching to see Laura's mom step in with Brandon for the parent dance.
