Crazy.

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve heard that word in the past week, I’d be a rich woman! There is a lot going on in the world right now and every single person is being affected in some way…I just so happen to be deeply involved in how the wedding industry is being hit. It’s incredibly difficult to have to talk through the different options with brides as they are trying to shift all of their plans they’ve worked so hard on.

BUT, the silver lining is that we’re having the opportunity to focus on what really matters –– marriage.

For Taylor and Cole, we had a beautiful, intimate day celebrating their journey together as husband and wife. Even though their guest list was dramatically reduced and we focused on being much safer than normal, you could feel the love and joy constantly throughout the day. I am so thankful I could be a part of it!

My favorite part of the day was their first look.

As Cole turned around to see Taylor in her wedding dress for the first time, he was overcome with emotion. It’s always so sweet to see that first moment of realizing “it’s really happening.” It’s so apparent how much they love each other and having a front row seat to that is SO special.

The rest of the day was spent laughing with their bridal party (who I wish I could spend every wedding with!) and the family that was able to attend. They love to have a good time and I’m allllll about it!

This will be my last wedding for a little while but I’m so thankful we were able to make it happen so we could celebrate AND have plenty of beautiful photos to share with everyone at home!

Congratulations Taylor and Cole!!! Love you two!!!
