In love with these saint-themed centerpieces from Ian & Lizā€™s wedding. Each table had a saint assigned to it and included a description about who that person was and a prayer card invoking their intercession. Itā€™s a simple way of sharing the faith with guests and inviting them to encounter the holy men and women who have gone before us and are examples of who the couple aims to model their lives after.

Ps. 10/10 also recommend a morning mass with a brunch reception and hosting a mimosa and coffee bar like Liz and Ian - definitely made a great call on that one!

Have you ever thought about your role as a wedding guest? I really believe that each guest who attends a wedding is there for two reasons. First, for the role theyā€™ve played in the past to share memories and shape the coupleā€™s lives, and second as a commitment to being there in the future too when times get tough in the relationship.

We all know this in theory, but itā€™s also good to bring it front of mind from time to time too.

Witnessing a wedding is a big deal and sometimes that significance gets a little faded in our modern times. But ultimately attending is a sign of your support for the marriage in the first place and a sign that youā€™re willing to support the marriage in the long term too.

It is more than simply being ā€œwelcomeā€ to attend the weddingā€¦you are being INVITED. An invitation to be a part of their married life.

It reminds me too that at the end of the day once all the vows are said and champagne is popped that we ought to find ways of being more present for each otherā€™s vocation throughout the years too. To continually and periodically check in with our married friends. To know whatā€™s going on in their lives. To pray for them. To remember their anniversaries and celebrate milestones. To show up when itā€™s known they are grieving. To bring them a meal through happy, difficult, or transitional seasons.

If someone came to mind while reading this, give them a quick call or text, say a prayer for them. We know from scripture that what God has joined together, we should let nothing put asunder. And each of us has a small role to play in that goal of helping every married couple in our lives with their vocation so that they do not let their own pride, their own wounds, their families, or any other outside forces get in the way and break them down or pull them apart. To be a community of Christian disciples who also live out the call to love like Corinthians 13:4-7 so that the couple is always reminded and encouraged to do the same themselves. To help them remember what true love is and to remember that it can endure all things. By Godā€™s grace and through the presence of community, we each can show and come to experience how Love never fails.

This is a theme Iā€™ve felt convicted to share in recent months.

God is across all time and space, but the only place we encounter Him is in the present. If we get so consumed in ā€œthe futureā€ or in what we feel we are ā€œlackingā€ at any stage of our vocation, its my personal belief we risk ending up so distracted (or sulking in our pain) that we forget to intentionally show up and love the people around us today. The people you encounter today are in your life FOR this season. They need you exactly as you are with your wounds, your longings, and all.

All the spiritual reading and books Iā€™ve read lately point to a similar theme. We think of Godā€™s plan in the big picture of our lives. When really we cooperate with that plan in the small, ordinary, daily ways. Every problem you encounter today that needs to be solved, every person who crosses your path, every circumstance youā€™re inā€¦ THAT is Godā€™s plan for you.

So in that, you do have everything you need for your holiness. Simply in how you respond to Godā€™s invitations today.

And well, for those who like us who have had long seasons of longing for either their first child or a bigger family, I also want to share a place Iā€™ve found comfort in recent years. The catechism talks about couples who havenā€™t been able to have children of their own as marriages that are still able to have a ā€œlife full of meaning [ā€¦] and can radiate a fruitfulness of charity, of hospitality, and of sacrifice.ā€

Reading that, I hear a sense of direction for all of us, in every vocation, and a place to direct our efforts in every stage of our vocation: Charity. Hospitality. Sacrifice.

My takeaway and encouragement to anyone reading who is wrestling with deep wounds or deep longings, would be to first bring those to the Sacred Heart of Jesus, the pierced heart that is set ablaze with love for othersā¤ļøā€šŸ”„ and discern how is God calling you to live out the virtues of charity, hospitality, and sacrifice in the exact season you are in?

When you get to share one of your favorite places with your favorite person šŸ’œ Courtney and Nolanā€™s wedding at St. Thomas was so dreamy and sweet. There are so many moments during college where you hope and pray for the future, eager to see what God has planned. So when those prayers lead you to a sweet spouse and you decide to enter into the sacrament of marriage at the campus chapel, it instantly calls to mind that very moment is an answer to all those prayers. A sign of Godā€™s presence in our lives and His faithfulness to be with us every step of the way.

Weā€™re so excited to celebrate this moment with you two. God is so good and your love is a living sign of His goodness.

A wedding day full of vintage charm ā¤ļø we speak often ad Catholics about God and His Church being ā€œever ancient, ever new,ā€ and this wedding day was the perfect reflection of that reality. Mary Agnes and Colton celebrated their wedding day with the extraordinary form of the traditional Latin mass and a choir so grand that the music filled every inch of the church and surely reached heaven. Drawing on the beauty from the liturgy and hymns that took shape over hundreds of years, while embracing every moment of the present. Their faces were beaming with the tender joy of a deep love and hope for the future. Weā€™re so honored to be a small part of witnessing those moments between them and capturing this day.

That newlywed joy! šŸŽ‰ Katie quite literally jumped for joy when she and John were announced husband and wife!! It was the sweetest moment to witness. I kept thinking yesterday how photographing catholic weddings means so much more to us than simply enjoying the day with our couples, because through the process of knowing them and celebrating them entering into the sacrament we always leave at the end of the night feeling truly INSPIRED by them! The way that John and Katie both love each other and pour their love into all the relationships around them really is a beautiful example of what it means to reflect the trinity and to bring Christ to the world. Every speech at the reception reflected how true this has been. We pray it always will be! These two have missionary hearts and we are so excited for this new mission theyā€™re embracing in the vocation of marriage. Canā€™t wait to see what beautiful things God does in for you and through you ā¤ļø
