One of my favorite parts of a wedding day happens before I ever arrive at the venue.
I love getting ready.
Choosing a dress that complements the wedding colors, turning on some music, and taking a few quiet moments to read through the ceremony one last time. It helps me shift from everyday life into one of the happiest moments I’ll be privileged to witness.
Then, once the ceremony begins… I do something very intentionally.
During the vows, the ring exchange, and the kiss, I step aside.
Those moments belong to the couple—not the officiant. By moving out of the way, the focus stays exactly where it should, and their photographer captures images they’ll treasure for a lifetime.
It’s a small detail, but I think the little details matter.
After hundreds of weddings, I still get excited every single time. 💙
