Austin fell hard for Bethany the moment he saw her.  “I seriously did!” he told me.  And when Austin says something in that very earnest way he has of saying things, you believe it.

I mean, we can see why. Bethany is beautiful inside and out and those eyes of hers can see right into your soul.  When you add an insane work ethic, a heart of pure gold, and the ability to look especially cute while she’s chasing a runaway cow…..  It’s easy to explain how Austin never stood a chance.  And how could she walk away from him?  He’s quite persistent when he sets his mind to something, and I know that his quirky comments must have had her laughing until she got a side stitch.  They’ve been together since high school and even though Bethany went away to UK for an Ag teaching degree and Austin did lineman school, nothing changed.  He still falls for her every time he sees her.

You two are such a sweet couple, and beyond that, I know you’ve stood side by side through thick and thin.  It’s clear that your love is the real deal, and I can’t wait to see how your future unfolds.  One thing is for sure, I’ll always be in your corner, and I know a whole other world of folks who feel the same way.  I can imagine that many years from now, you’ll still be chasing a cow or two, talking about what the FFA kids are doing or figuring out what needs to happen while Austin goes to help get the electricity on after another hurricane.  I greatly admire you both, and I pray that your love just keeps growing and growing!!

I know it seems like years until next spring, but you literally will turn around twice and it will be here.  I can’t wait to photograph your wedding!   Love and blessings,   Pat
