beauty of weddings
katelin + justin | married | fall 2023
What a beautiful day and wedding this was! I was first contacted by Katelin about capturing their big day when she and Justin lived over seas in Italy! I have to give props to her for making her plans in a city she had never lived in, and from such a distance! And, I’ll admit that I was a bit nervous when she mentioned a 5:00 ceremony outdoors on November 5, as I knew daylight savings was the night before and it would be dark in no time! We lucked out, though, and there was a perfect amount of light leftover at the end of the day. š The day unfolded just beautifully and I love how Katelin made tribute to her mother whom passed away not too long ago. A photo of her mom followed her throughout the day, and I have no doubt that she was watching from above. Katelin and Justin are such a sweet couple, and I loved all the little moments together (such as how often he would kiss her hand or make an adorable comment). I wish them nothing but the best in this next chapter of their lives together!
kelsey + matt {married}
Kelsey and Matt are two beautiful people, both inside and out. And together, they are so sweet. A wonderful balance, I’ve sensed, in the short time I’ve known them. Their whole wedding day was just lovely, despite the hot, humid weather. The colors of the day and locations of the ceremony and reception were just beautiful, and the decorating of the hall was so elegant.Ā I’ve had a few weddings now where it was a little more emotional because of of the passing of a parent. In this instant, Kelsey’s father is no longer with them, but I know he was watching over. I love the little details like the charms placed on her shoes and flowers with a picture of him. In a sense, he “walked” her down the aisle — though, her mother gladly took onĀ this role, and her two grandpas took over the dancing. So happy for this wonderful couple as they start this next chapter in life together!
katy & nick {married}
The week leading up to Katy and Nick’s wedding, I chatted with Katy about the possibility of, “what if it rains?” The forecast looked pretty gloomy, and even though the day was pretty soggy and wet outside, it did not change how excited Katy and Nick were about joining their families! Not only were the two of them coming together, but, they each have a daughter so they became a family of four! Just like their engagement photos, in how I noticed the sweet looks Nick gave Katy, he gave her the same adoring look, even more so when he first spotted his bride — she was absolutely radiant. They are so sweet together andĀ you can just tell when two people are meant to be together. Here’s a peek at how their beautiful day unfolded!
