Today I get to share with you this gorgeous outdoor wedding of two roller derby players from Karen Leah Photography.
We first appeared on each other’s radar when my roller derby team went to San Diego to play against his then-girlfriend’s team. He was there jam timing. I even have a picture of me skating during warm-ups, and what looks like him watching me. We didn’t talk to each other, but he found me and friended me on Facebook two days later. A few months after, they broke up and he moved to Phoenix, while I’m in Los Angeles, and then a few months after that we started chatting online. We ended up having our first date ten months after that game, while we were both in Las Vegas for RollerCon.
The highlight of our day I would say was when we took our wedding photos with the truck we are restoring together. By the afternoon, the ceremony was done, emotions were calm, and I finally began to feel like myself in my hair and make up. We were both relaxed and happy. It was nice to be with one another without having to juggle friends and family.
