My cousin Sam married the lovely Nikki on January 16th, it was mine and Justin's first wedding of 2010 and it was the perfect way to start out the new year! I especially enjoyed their wedding because I was able to see Sam marry his sweetheart. Knowing the series of the events that brought these two amazing people together made this day all the more special, and believe me, when they officially tied the knot, there wasn't a dry eye in the room! Our family is beyond excited to have Nikki and her two beautiful daughters be part of us, and we are even more excited that Sam is happy!

I'm just a friend of the bride (who is as beautiful and fun as she looks in these pictures!) The shoes I believe are from DSW, and the dress was her grandmothers altered just for Nikki (true vintage).

Hi Amelia,
I was wondering if you would share another one of your secrets? What kind of off camera lighting did you use in the shots in the field? Is it a flash? What kind?
