"I’ll get emotional writing this, but I don’t understand how you do it. You captured more than just photos... You created an environment for us to be so vulnerable and, honestly, safe the entire time. It blew my mind what that experience was up on that hill by the water [for private vows]. I will be completely transparent… after that, I was not nervous once. I was just happy. Every photo I looked at, I felt all over again. Adrian, all of our family and friends, and I cannot thank you enough for giving me that."
This is a huge reason we love doing what we do- yes, we LOVE getting "the shot", and capturing all of the beautiful moments of your wedding day. But even more than that, we love being able to support you and your partner the whole way through, in any way we can. It's so cool to look back at each Joyful Grace wedding through the years, because while each wedding and each couple is incredibly unique, every. single. one. is held close to our hearts because of the relationships created through that experience.
We often joke about wanting to host an annual Joyful Grace Wedding Couples Barbecue, and have everyone out for some good ol' Midwestern fun together. After all, once you're a Joyful Grace Bride... you're ALWAYS a Joyful Grace bride! 🤍
