not only was it their rehearsal, but it was also claire's 23rd birthday!  everyone singing to her...

This past weekend, Brooks and I got to hang out with the Long/Mullen families all weekend while we shot Claire & Corey's wedding.  Let me tell you, these are some pretty amazing people!  Claire and Corey have been dating for over 8 years, so these families already seem to be one, even before the wedding took place.  You could just see how much they love one another and how excited they were for Claire & Corey to begin their lives together as husband & wife.  It was such a great rehearsal, Brooks & I knew it was going to be an amazing wedding...and it was.  Stay tuned for wedding pics in the next few days!
