I remember the day my brother, Nathan, was born. June 2, 1985. My mom delivered my brother at home....11 pounds and 12 ounces. He was big even then. Now, a professional football player (he just signed a contract to play in a new football league, the United Football League) and even more important, a husband. It was such an honor to photograph his wedding to my new sister-in-law, Jen, this past Saturday in St. Louis. Jen is the perfect sister-in-law. I cannot imagine how intimidating it was for her to meet my family for the first time....4 protective sisters of Nathan. But she easily fit in the "Williams" clan and my mom fell in love with her as much as Nathan did. Jen is one of the most sincere and generous friends I have ever had. She has made my brother happier than any other person. So under one of the hottest, cloudless days this summer (over 100 degrees), Nathan and Jen promised their love to each other. Despite the sweat (you can't even see it in the photos), we had a great time taking photos all over St. Louis and at the zoo where their reception was held. I could NOT have shot this wedding without the help of the amazing Matt Dunmore (Matt Dunmore Photography). He drove out from Chattanooga, TN, to be a part of the day and help me with yet another wedding. He gave my feet and big belly a rest when I really needed it! This baby is ready to be a photographer! Thanks so much Matt! Congratulations Nathan and Jen. I could not have asked for a better brother or sister-in-law!
