It was windy. And awesome. Perhaps more photos to come soon. Thanks to Tyrone for coming out to the party to help.
We welcome with more gratitude than our hearts can hold–Findley Spencer Harms. She was born on 3/3/11 at 7:11pm. 5lbs 14oz. 19 in.
She entered the world with more bravery than we have ever witnessed. Indeed, she is our little fair warrior. Due to her rough entry and dangerous first few moments of life, she is spending the coming days in the NICU, as she fends off any potential infections and continues to recover her strength.
She is beyond beautiful. We are so thankful. Without a doubt, we have tasted God’s faithfulness.
We would be so thankful for your prayers in the coming days for our little Findley.
Much love,
Ben+Whitney+Findley

May 18, 2011 - 3:11 pm
Seriously some of the best photos ever made.
This reception. Oh this reception. I tried to stop taking photographs.
I couldn’t.
The sheriff shows up on the dance floor. My mother-in-law busts moves like she’s been doing it her whole life. My father-in-law ends up crowd surfing. I end up crowd surfing. Men lose clothing. Thriller.
Thriller.
I should stop typing and just let you look.
Once again, my right hand man was T-Riewer from FlashBangBoom Photography. We killed it.

Seriously, we did kill it. And I agree with Ashley… I can’t stop smiling. Such an incredible celebration. I’m just thankful to have been a part of it.

AMAZING! I love it. I think the two little girls running past the barn door is my ultimate favorite!
This one is special. Beyond special. Bailey is Whitney’s sister, thus my sister. On a deeply personal level, I really can’t even begin to explain how much these images mean. Not only did I get to capture this day from behind the lens and get the privilege of officiating the ceremony, but it was a day that was celebrated so well by our (technically their) Dad. I have never seen a man so full of joy–moments etched so deeply in our memories. A bit of heaven amidst earth.
Truly a day that will never, ever be forgotten.
Second shot by my dear friend and homeboy, Tyler Riewer of FlashBangBoom Photography. He is magical behind the lens.
Part 2 and 3 coming in the next few days. Feel free to drop by.
