Where to even begin with this wedding? I consider all of the beautiful days that I’m privileged to shoot an honor, but when one or both of the bride and groom are dear friends it just makes my role all-the-more special. Brent has been an amazing friend to me and my family for something like 8 years, now. He’s truly one of the best people I know, and I always knew it would be an incredibly special girl that would win his heart. Though the wedding day was the first time I actually got to meet MaryBeth in person, it was clear right away how much these two adore each other. I could not be happier for them both and it was so special getting to capture their love and their special day.

MaryBeth could not be more stunning or graceful. I’m just in love with this image.

Is her dress just absolutely amazing, or what?? I already adore lace, but the silhouette and the long train plus the design of the back cut-out are just incredible.

Reading notes from each other right before the First Look. What a sweet moment!

I was dying over the moss hanging from these trees. I’ve been wanting to shoot with that stuff ever since first seeing it (like, years ago) and it was so perfect that there happened to be tons of it at our location!

I love these three guys so much. My brother, and two friends who have been like additional brothers. So much fun shooting weddings when friends and family are there! And also, my husband the photo-bombing creeper….haha.

My family! Only missing my sister and her husband who weren’t able to make it.

Such a very sweet and wonderful day and I love that I got to celebrate with them and be part of it!
