Jason and Heather’s fun pavilion wedding wasn’t stopped by a rainy day. We were able to sneak outside for pictures despite the on and off rain and the chilly weather. Jason is a youth pastor at a local church, so the couple promised their vows surrounded by their church families, and youth. It’s always fun […]
