Justin & Kelsey Married | The Barn at Big Oak | Franklin, GA

This past weekend, I was given the wonderful privilege of capturing Justin and Kelsey's wedding in the little town of Franklin, GA. It was a quaint, quiet little wedding venue in the middle of the woods. The Barn at Big Oak was surrounded by trees and located a cute little country dirt road.

I have known Kelsey for a long time, and it was a sweet surprise when she texted me one day to ask if I would photograph her wedding. I was ecstatic of course. I first met Kelsey at a camp called Global Youth Camp when Jason and I brought our students up to Fort Mountain where the camp was located. Little did we know, we would eventually move up to the mountain where Jason would work, and Kelsey decided to join the Institute. During her time as an intern (college student), I had the sweet "unofficial" privilege of mentoring her for a few months. She would randomly show up at our little duplex, and we would have conversations for hours talking about Jesus, life, & the future. She would eat all my food, watch all of my chick flicks, and babysit Julia so I could have some "me time." I was totally okay with that.

Kelsey, I am so proud of the woman you have become. I am thankful that the Lord brought you into my life (most definitely at the right time), and it has been so sweet that we have kept in touch over the years even though we have been miles apart. Your friendship has been very special to me and my family. You were a beautiful bride, and Justin is one lucky man to have you. He definitely "married up!" While I do not know Justin very well, I do know that he loves you and adores you. He loves Jesus, and that is most important.

Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Sellers! I pray God will bless your marriage and your future family.
