Rugged Grace did both our engagement and wedding photos. Naomi and Kelly are honestly some of the most amazing people I have ever met. They treat any special occasion as if it were their own and they are so nice to every one they are photographing. I highly recommend them not only because of their superior, high quality work, but they are just genuinely beautiful people. I will absolutely be calling them every time I need professional photos taken. (Not to mention the photos of our dog were INCREDIBLE.)

Rugged Grace has been an absolute God-Sent to our wedding! Naomi is so much fun to work with and produces an excellent product. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone in search of wedding and engagement photography.

However, this Sunday topped the cake. This Sunday, the 19th of August my husband was now asked to be in his bosses wedding this day (he had finally been approved and felt accepted). The ride up to Lyons was horrible. The traffic delayed us by an hour. When we arrived, the ceremony was about over and we watched the end. The wedding coordinator then asked my husband to change into his shirt for pictures. My 14 year old son and I sat and waited while some pictures were being taken of the brides party. Then they did the grooms party. I was terrified when I saw what happened next, in front of everyone, in front of my son.



At this point, the bride asked for pics of both parties together. They started grouping couples up, putting my husband with the bride's sister. At first I was not bothered until the other bridesmaid blurted out "okay now you two kiss!"



WHAT!!! I was mortified. Are you serious? Is this a joke? My husband right away said no and looked at me. They all know we are married and know we don't even drink or take that sort of stuff in any way funny.

She then proceeded to ask my husband to hold the sister in inappropriate ways for the camera. I was so hurt. I wanted to do something, but what???? The bosses of his boss were upstairs inside at this time, but yet all the wedding party was a witness. I began to cry and ran out of there with my son following closely behind. My husband then ran off after me as well. At that point the three of us left. After literally being there for maybe 20 minutes. I have been crying ever since on and off.



I think of this situation and this affair going on involving a murdered wife and her children.

I see the fear in my husband that he thinks he will lose his job now. He fears he will lose our health insurance knowing I have been fighting a brain tumor.

His work days have been horrible since.
