You guys, I don’t even know where to start with this wedding. I had the pleasure of getting to know Chris & Clare when they were a part of a wedding party I photographed last year, and instantly fell in love with their love before I was even hired as their photographer. They planned a wedding that completely expressed themselves perfectly, complete with all DIY centerpieces and details that they put their heart & soul into. And when I say DIY, I really mean DIY. All of the paper flowers, centerpieces, place cards were created, painted, and developed by Chris, Clare, and a few amazing bridal party members! Throughout the entire day I was wiping away tears (and sweat- hello 100 degree day!) from the back of my camera and loved every minute of it.
I am so thankful these two chose me to capture the beginning of their forever. They were dream clients turned into forever friends, and I am so grateful for the trust they put in me to photograph their big day 🙂
