Mike and Jennifer's Wedding!

Last month, I photographed Mike and Jennifer's Wedding and I must say that they are one of my favorite couples that I have ever photographed!  I really don't think I have met a couple who literally had as much fun as these two did on their wedding day!  From the Superman entrance music to the fake mustaches, we loved it all and were honored to be a part of it.  Here are some highlights...
