When she hung up the dress for me to take pictures of it, helping me as she always does, something was different. This time she was hanging up her very own wedding dress! This wedding was EXTRA special for me because Mariah was my second shooter and dear friend!! After helping me with countesses weddings I was finally shooting her wedding!

It felt so surreal to be shooting a wedding where SHE was the bride and boy, did she make the most gorgeous bride ever!

The day was seamless with the most gorgeous of details, joyful bridesmaids, and one very ready couple! I had heard her talk about her wedding with such excitement and anticipation and it was now finally here and everything was perfect! The rain had nothing on us. It may had made for some last minute changes to the wedding but it left the most romantic touch to an already stunning couple!!

Mariah, I have been so blessed to have you as my second shooter and though I am sad to see you move away with your husband I am beyond ecstatic for you! I always tell people that I feel like a proud mom when I think about how you first came to me with your canon rebel and your desire to just learn, learn, learn, and how you left me flying in the air like a butterfly breaking from it’s cocoon. Your talent has skyrocketed and I am just so proud!! I can’t wait to see where the Lord is going to take you and Aaron in your life!

Prepare for an overload of gorgeousness! But really, brace yourself!!

The day won’t have been possible without all these amazing vendors!
