As I mentioned previously, we were thrilled to accompany</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Patti and Danny to Santiago de Compostela for their "small skinny Spanish wedding." </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I already shared a few pictures from their portrait session</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
at their family's charming bed and breakfast. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Below are some of our favorite images from the wedding-day itself. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
What a beautiful and charming town!</div>

I'm sure you'll remember <a href="http://garrettnudd.blogspot.com/2012/06/patti-danny-ritz-carlton-orlando.html">Patti & Danny's wedding</a> at the <a href="http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/Orlando/Default.htm">Ritz Carlton Orlando</a> back in May, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
with wedding planner extraordinaire <a href="http://www.eeventsdesign.com/">Lisa Stoner</a>. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The following month the newlyweds traveled to Santiago de Compostela, Spain, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so they could have the wedding of their dreams, surround by their extended family. </div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And what a treat it was for us to be along for the ride. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The afternoon before the wedding, we spent a couple hours photographing </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
around their family's bed and breakfast. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a BEAUTIFUL and charming location!</div>

There's something so special about watching fathers and daughters interact on the wedding day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I loved following Carrie and her father's various interactions throughout the day. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are two of my favorites: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This first image was shot from the front of the church, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
down the aisle, and outside the church...the vantage point shared by the groom. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e171/garrettnudd/weddings/cloister_sea_island_1.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course the father-daughter dance is always a sweet moment. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e171/garrettnudd/weddings/cloister_sea_island_3.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As a photographer, it is truly an honor to witness and record such honest and tender moments</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on one of the most significant days in a family's life. </div>

On a warm summer evening in Sea Island, Georgia, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the eve of their wedding, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Carrie and Drew and their friends enjoyed a delicious clam bake and BBQ dinner. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sure loved the setting!</div>

We loved photographing Kendall & Alex's wedding on Amelia Island in June. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What a fun-loving couple, and such a great group of friends! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm happy to share a couple favorites.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Occasionally we'll notice something that would make a great image, but might require a bit of effort. Kendall read my mind, took off her shoes and started climbing. ;-) </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
was one of the cutest pictures I've ever seen. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was Patti and Danny at 5 and 6 years old wearing matching bathing suits. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I suppose it's safe to say that the rest is history. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Or maybe life moves so quickly that it just seems that way. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Two weeks ago I was in Washington DC photographing a wedding </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">when Gray called to tell me that she had lost her first tooth. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">"Dad, I've been waiting for this moment for years and you're not even here to celebrate with me!" </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I felt horrible. But then she said, "Oh well, I guess we'll just celebrate again, once you get back. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Two celebrations!"</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Then last week we walked her up the steps and into the school, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">down the hallway and into her kindergarten classroom. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Her first day of school, yet she walked into the classroom like she owned the place.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Obviously she wasn't nearly as nervous as I was.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">And then yesterday, after a few months of mom and dad not making a big deal about it, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">she casually asked if she should practice riding her bike without training wheels. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Boom! A few minutes of diligent work and she got it. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">And then her first piano lesson...</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">What in the world is happening?</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Tonight I sit at my computer looking through pictures from her first day of school</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> and it's left me sad and happy. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I'm sad that my little girl is growing up. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">But I'm happy to see her blossom and stretch, learn and grow. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">In the morning we'll wake up, get ready as quickly as possible, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">eat breakfast, and then race out the door without a second thought. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">But tonight, in this quiet place, with my girls asleep down the hall, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I'm giving it a second thought.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">

<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">One of the most poignant moments of the entire morning was when we got home</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> and Campbell went over and picked up Graycen's American Girl, Hadley. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">She walked around the house for a few minutes mumbling something to Hadley </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">and then climbed up on the the sofa and started playing with her quietly.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e171/garrettnudd/personal/IMG_0385.jpg" /> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">

<br /></span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><div style="text-align: center;">Sometimes the words just don't come, no matter how hard you try. </div><div style="text-align: center;">After three weeks of running non-stop, working every day from sunrise to sometime past midnight, </div><div style="text-align: center;">still feeling behind and trying to plot your next move, </div><div style="text-align: center;">news hits you square in the face and takes your breath away. </div></span><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">We've been blessed to work with some of the most extraordinary couples. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Daniel and Logan were no different. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">I first met Daniel in 2006 when I taught photography at the School of Journalism & Communication</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> at Southern Adventist University. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Daniel always talked about snowboarding and wakeboarding </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">and all those other extreme sports that I'm not cool enough to do.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">But every week he'd stay after class and we'd spend 15-20 minutes just talking about life, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">school, business, and photography. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">He was such a nice guy. So easy to talk to. An instant fr</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" ;font-size:small;">iend. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Shortly after our time together in class, doctors located a tumor on Daniel's brain. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">But his determination and strength prevailed. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">His beautiful and sweet lady Logan battled right along with him. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e171/garrettnudd/weddings/daniel3.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Sometime a year later or so, I bumped into Daniel and Logan on a flight from Orlando to Chattanooga. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">It was an empty flight and I had two open seats next to me. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">So the three of us sat together and I listened to the sweet story</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> of how they had just gotten engaged the night before. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Listen up guys, there aren't many who did it better than Daniel!</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">A couple months later they asked us to photograph their wedding in Asheville, NC. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Daniel was a handsome groom and Logan was one of the loveliest and most graceful brides I have ever seen. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">A striking couple, even more beautiful on the inside than the outside. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">When they married Daniel had a clean bill of health. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">But his future was uncertain. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Over the next couple years they spent time living and working in Las Vegas and Utah, </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">enjoying the outdoors and living life to the fullest. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Daniel touched base from time to time via email and we enjoyed following their travels.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><img src="http://i39.photobucket.com/albums/e171/garrettnudd/weddings/daniel2.jpg" /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Some time ago Daniel's cancer came back, and this time with a vengeance. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Daniel and Logan were determined to beat it trying a host of natural treatments </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">coupled with every advancement of modern medicine available. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Daniel kept a blog journaling his experience. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">He prayed for strength for his wife and family. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">And he always held out hope that his public fight would increase awareness</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"> and inspire others to join him in the fight against this terrible disease. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Yesterday Daniel was in the ICU. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">And tonight we heard that he went to sleep. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">What do you say? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">What do you do? </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
<br /></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Our prayers are with Logan, as well as Daniel's parents, brothers, and sister. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">What a difficult time. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">May God grant them peace and comfort and hope for tomorrow. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">And may the love and prayers of friends and family bring them even just a moderate measure of comfort. </span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">
