Alex Wright Photography: Caleb and Hillary's WV Clay Center Wedding- May 2015

Sigh. What can I say about this couple? A lot actually. My older brother always had boys over at the house when we were growing up, and Caleb was the friend that always made my awkward middle school face turn red every time he spoke to me. (He could do backflips on a wakeboard, and he won Prettiest Hair in high school..) As I've grown older, I've seen my brother lose touch with a lot of high school buddies, but not Caleb. He's there for my brother and my family to this day, and we love having him around.

The first time Caleb brought Hillary to our house, we fell in love with her too. She has a "I'm down for anything" spirit that makes her really easy to talk to and so fun to be around. It's now a usual occurrence for us to invite Caleb and Hillary on our Heywood family vacations, and we wouldn't have it any other way!

Caleb proposed to Hillary in Paris, France.. like a boss, and I jumped up and down when they asked me to document their wedding day at the Clay Center in Charleston, WV as well as their open house reception in Salt Lake City, UT.

Favorite moments from the wedding day:

My brother Austin surprising everyone by stepping away from the groomsmen at the last second and officiating the wedding ceremony with his crazy long hair. He did such a great job and sealed the deal by saying, "By the power vested in me by the state of West 'By God' Virginia, I now pronounce you husband and wife."
Hillary's mother/daughter dance instead of a father/daughter dance to "Hey Momma" by Kanye West. It was funny, gangsta, and totally heartwarming.
Caleb's dad "Big Mike" Redington cutting in right in the middle of Caleb's mother/son dance to dance with his wife Penny.
Getting to see so many old friends from my hometown in one place dancing and celebrating together! It was a perfect day.

Here are some of my favorites from their West Virginia wedding and Utah open house:
