I have known Cheryl for about ten years now.  We first met on the pool deck at the University of Tennessee while in college.  We were both coaching the former summer league team, University Club. I have coached swimming on the side on and off for over ten years and those summers with University Club and Cheryl (and Brent) were definitely some of the best summers of my life.  I love keeping up with all my swimmers from those years who are now all grown up! Cheryl and I had so much fun and became instant friends and dance partners.

Cheryl actually still coaches….and full time now.  She is the head age group coach for the Memphis Tiger Swim Team so it was only appropriate that she marry another swim coach. I first met Bryan on their wedding day and he was as wonderful as I had expected and as Cheryl had described.   I am pretty sure he didn’t stop smiling the entire day.  And neither did Cheryl for that matter.

Their Christmas time wedding ceremony and reception took place at Germantown Country Club, a suburb of Memphis, Tennessee.  The ceremony was so sweet and included a special part for Cheryl’s son, Simon.  Bryan gave Simon a ring and vowed to love him and be his step dad forever.  Simon definitely took this very seriously.  After the ceremony and basically all night, he just kept looking at and holding the ring that was around his neck.  So cute!

I was so honored that I could photograph Cheryl & Bryan’s winter wedding! These two are so obviously in love and I’m so very happy for them both.
