Do you know how to have a winter wonderland wedding? Combine a beautiful bride, a groom’s never-ending smile, and a horse-drawn carriage with snow falling lightly around the Nauvoo Temple.

Even though it was a winter day, the chilly weather seemed to have little effect on Rachael and Shane. A bouquet of red roses surrounded by holly leaves and the special beauty of the Historic Nauvoo Temple helped keep hearts aglow with warmth even if toes were a bit cold.

Here are a few of the moments captured…..

One of my favorite shots. Shane’s little nephew kept a pretty tight hold on his leg…..and he wasn’t letting go!

To Rachael and Shane,

It was truly an honor to be asked to record your special day. We wish you both the very best as you start your eternal journey together. May God bless you always.

Here’s to the newlyweds!

Tom and Jeanette
