Pro tip! When your wedding party is getting ready, keep the window areas clear of debris and distractions. Your photographer will likely want to utilize the space for detail shots or bridal portraits. 😉.⠀

If I haven't told you before, I love "prompting." It's posing but with a twist. And it's not about getting the perfect shot. It's about carving out a moment in time to keep and to hold onto. I asked Aaron to think about what his life would look like in ten years and then to think about how much of that picture was because of the woman in front of him. Swipe for all the feels.

Karen wore her mom's pearls and her grandmother's handkerchief down the aisle. I love the dogwood and lily of the valley flowers woven into the delicate cloth. ⠀⠀
I carried my great grandmother's hanky down the aisle too. She was a nurse and it was a gift from one of her patients who had embroidered an ornate "E" (for Evelyn) onto the otherwise plain fabric. I love things like this because you can hold on to them and pass them down. ⠀⠀

Normally, editing is considered the boring part of this job. Tweaking tint, fine tuning contrast, and ever so slightly adjusting horizons can be tedious. But I'm enjoying looking through Ben and Elizabeth's wedding mass so much that the hours are passing quickly. I can't wait to write and share their blog post, but in the meantime, enjoy these little, but meaningful moments. #catholicwedding #spokenbride #spokenbridevendor ⠀⠀

I love pre-ceremony love notes.⁣⠀
If you did this, how did you keep them? ⁣⠀

#confession ⁣⠀
I try to be a happy go-lucky person, but, the truth is, I worry beyond proportion. It's just part of my makeup that I don't like change, especially when I'm not in control of the new adjustment. But that's not a healthy attitude or one of faith. Anybody else struggle with letting go?⁣⠀
⁣⠀
"Can any of you by worrying add a single moment to your life-span? Why are you anxious about clothes? Learn from the way the wild flowers grow. They do not work or spin. But I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was clothed like one of them. If God so clothes the grass of the field, which grows today and is thrown into the oven tomorrow, will he not much more provide for you, O you of little faith?" Matthew 6:27-30⁣⠀
