The room was dark and quiet. Everyone was waiting. There Nate stood, in the blinding spotlights, eagerly waiting for his bride, Demaura. The music started. He smiled. The moment he had been waiting for was finally here. He was about to see his bride walk down the aisle. One by one, the bridesmaids walked down the aisle. The anticipation was building now. After the flower girl came down the aisle, Nate knew that his wife-to-be was next. The audience stood up. There she was. Nate began to tremble, with tears streaming down his eyes. She looked stunning in her dress – beautiful and radiant.

We met Demaura and Nate on a separate shoot out in Tulsa. While walking around, we noticed two ladies putting Christmas lights on the ground. Naturally curious, we asked them what they were doing. “My brother is proposing to his girlfriend tonight!” Abby said (Nate’s sister’s name is Abby too). Treneé and I were shocked. “This is going to sound weird, but can we photograph the proposal for you? We are professional photographers, and we would just really love to capture that moment for you.” Now they were shocked. “Absolutely!” Abby said. So we waited for them. It was a beautiful thing. The way Nate smiled at Demaura could light up a room. You could feel the love and the joy they shared for each other. A few months later, we received an email from them asking if we would be willing to photograph their wedding. Obviously, we said yes, and we were so excited to be able to celebrate with them.

Their wedding was gorgeous—lovely hints of blue and silver made for a magical winter wonderland experience. We had so much fun capturing their special moments. We felt like friends on that day. Nate and Demaura, we are so grateful for the opportunity you gave us to celebrate with you. Your love for each other is contagious and reminds us of those sweet moments when two people fall in love. We hope these pictures serve as a blessing to you in the same way that meeting the two of you was a blessing to us!
