All of their plans had come together, and outside — the sun was shining, trees were blooming shades of purple. And inside Angel and Kyle were getting ready for their biggest day yet!

Scott turned around. He took the sight of Stefanie in her wedding dress all in, and in a matter of fractions of seconds, his face - his whole face lit up like a Christmas tree.

They finally shared in those much anticipated hugs and kisses, they shared letters. And shortly thereafter, they got married…they made those promises, said those vows, and moved into the phase of forever and always!

These two here are the picture perfect portrait of what it looks like, to love someone else more and more with every single passing minute

There are a lot of stories behind a wedding day. The story of the couple, the story of their families coming together, the story of the bride herself. And this is Laura’s story of her wedding day.

On the arm of her sweet grandfather, with a picture of her dear Dad hanging from her bouquet - there she came.

Wedding reception toasts are one of my favorite times during a wedding day. It's always a chance to hear really special stories and intimate details of the lives of my couples from the people who know them best….and for Yuki and Anton’s toasts, well..

Nolan was in his spot, outside, back turned, and ready for Taiylor to walk up behind him, for him to turn, and for them to finally see one another.

There might have been some unexpected surprises...like storm clouds and thunder, downpours and steady rain showers. But the thing that matters above all those unexpected things is the thing that Haley and John expected the most from their June wedding day....They expected to get married.

As much as Ben tried to prepare himself for the moment those church doors opened and he first saw Bailey....it was evident his preparations weren't up to par. How could they be?

With multi-page handwritten vows, they took their time, they said their words, and made their promises, and in between each page flip - their hands reached again and again for one another.

In a beautiful church in Kansas, these two tied that all important knot

It'd be easy (not really) to showcase my favorite wedding day portraits only, just those shots I love SO much of my brides + grooms.....but it's not just those portraits that tell these stories - it's everything, it's all the things in between. It's every moment. 2017 best of weddings is here!

I'm fairly certain if you open up a dictionary these days, and look up the definition of JOYFUL, you'd find within those pages, a photo of Jordan, and a photo of Justin...quite likely together. 

What these two share practically floats in the air around them, and ohh how wonderful it is to witness.
 

Courtney's Dad said it best....Austin is the type of person who in every single element, characteristic and quality he possesses... is what Courtney's Dad ever hoped his little girl would find.

It was Samantha's turn to be throwing a bouquet, to be the one in a gorgeous bridal gown, to be the one marrying the love of her life!

Two dresses, two ladies, two hearts....and one love.
