Ever wonder what wedding pros do in their "spare" time? 🤔

When your wedding couples become your friends. 😍

Happy Anniversary to Shaun and Angela who have been friends of mine since I helped them plan their wedding in 2015! It's been such a joy being part of their love story over the years. They will always have a special place in my heart as one of the very first weddings I did when I started my business.

I am forever grateful and am so happy to relive their special day through these beautiful photos from Nate & Jenny Weddings.

One of my favorite parts of a wedding - the father daughter dance. You can just feel the love through the laughter and sometimes the tears.

It’s such a significant part of the wedding day and a timeless tradition to celebrate the father of the bride and the special bond between a father and his daughter.

After all, she will always be your little girl.

Happy Father’s Day.
