Oh, the agony! How to pick just a few for this sneak peek? Terra and Tim’s wedding had so many beautiful and meaningful moments, how can I possibly decide what to post here? Perhaps my criteria should simply be to choose what evokes the feeling of the day–which is easy now that I think about it. It’s simple: Terra adores Tim and Tim adores Terra. When she’s looking at him, you can see it in her eyes. When she’s waiting to see him, she shines. When she’s in his arms, she appears to be exactly where she belongs. And Tim? He’s the kind of man a woman wants to spend a life with. Strong. Sweet. Caring. Tender. He’s a man who could keep you safe on a dark New York street and cry over your love letter.
The part of the day that I felt it the most was when Tim and Terra enjoyed their first dance. They took the dance floor as the sun faded in the west. As the light became golden, Terra and Tim didn’t take their eyes off one another. The nerves and giddiness of the day were passed and now together they seemed at once lighter than air and also bonded permanently. Watching Terra’s eyes shine while she danced with Tim was pretty much the highlight of my day.
Thank you, Terra and Tim! And thank you, the Chaney’s and Williams’ for entrusting this day to our eyes and our cameras. I hope you enjoy these favorites in a slide show. I know we are looking forward to sharing all 494 gorgeous wedding images with you.

Breathtakingly beautiful, gorgeous, awesome, incredible and every other adjective you can use to express perfection. Thank you Theresa and John for once again taking marvelous pictures of our daughter’s wedding. Almost wish we had a third daughter, not!
you are too kind. The pleasure is all ours. We’re lucky to have the opportunity to be with you on the loveliest of days.
Wow, Theresa and John. Thank you so much for seamlessly capturing the magic of our wedding day. You made us feel comfortable enough to forget your presence as photographers and think of you as cherished friends. The late photo shoot in the vineyard was unforgettable, some of our favorite shots. It’s hard to describe the feeling we get when viewing these photos, and we cannot wait to see more! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
The pictures are absolutely fabulous! You truly caught the love between these wonderful “kids”! And you captured the spirit of the entire celebration – great family and friends enjoying each other!
Thank you Theresa and John – you are artists in the truest sense!
Melissa – Mother of the Groom
