Y’all know how much I value being welcomed back into a family to capture another monumental moment. So, when Emily and Joe reached out to book their wedding, I was beyond excited! It’s been such a joy getting to know this family since I first started working with them in 2023, when Emily’s sister, Molly, booked me for her wedding day.
I was chatting with their mom, the sweetest lady, who shared how her daughters have different styles and approaches to wedding planning and distinct visions for their wedding days. Both beautiful, but uniquely their own. As the photographer for both sisters, my approach was rooted in the same pillars of capturing the details, the moments, and the portraits, while leaning into what mattered most to Emily and Joe.
Their day was filled with so much heart: laughter, tearful private vows, hand-embroidered gifts from Emily to her mama and her soon-to-be husband, a fun little visit from their pup, and getting ready in her childhood home—a place filled with so many memories and so much history.
Emily is a cancer survivor, which added an especially meaningful layer of joy and gratitude to the day. She had shared a bit of her story with me, and at one point during the morning’s getting-ready events, her mom leaned over and whispered, “There was a time when we weren’t sure she would have a wedding day.”
Oh, my heart. 🤍
Emily and Joe were married at the church where they faithfully serve, surrounded by so much love. Then it was onto the dance floor for plenty of twirls and a night full of celebration!
I couldn’t be happier for you, Emily and Joe. What a gift it was to capture this day for you! Congratulations! 🤍
