Claire & Cade’s wedding day had me laughing, crying, sweating, surprised, and speechless all within 10 hours. Talk about emotional whiplash. 😂🤍
The morning started at Claire’s childhood home, straight out of a Christmas Hallmark movie. And her mom was the sweetest host, constantly checking in to make sure I was fed, hydrated, and taken care of. 🥹
Now, I cry at weddings pretty regularly, but Claire’s letter to her stepdad, Brian, absolutely wrecked me. Their relationship was such a beautiful reminder of how love makes room for family in so many different ways. It hit especially close to home because it reminded me of my own stepdad and the love he’s shown me. 🤍
Claire found so many thoughtful ways to honor her dad throughout the day, from wearing one of his bracelets to having her bridesmaids place roses on the chair reserved for him. Cade also wore her dad’s wedding band, making their day even more meaningful. She even incorporated details from her mom’s wedding dress into her own, adding another beautiful layer of family history to her day. 🥹
There was such a special feeling surrounding this wedding, like her dad was present in all the little moments and in the love that filled the room. It’s something I’ll never forget.
Add in the dreamiest colors, florals, and decor, and this day truly had it all.
Claire & Cade, what a privilege it was to capture a day filled with so much love, laughter, and meaning. 🤍
