Happy Friday! I’m pooped! We had an extra munchkin with us over the past 48 hours and 6 inches of snow we took advantage of! Mama needs a drink! #backtoediting #workpiledup #worthit

Did you pick out your own ring or did your Fiance /husband pick it out? Did you drop any hints as to what style you liked?

I can’t imagine raising my babies without my spouse alongside me, or sending my son off to war, or having my mom deployed when I needed her to kiss a boo-boo. Those of you who have deserve all my admiration and gratitude. ⠀ This veteran’s day, I want to thank the families of the people who protect mine.

A lovely bouquet+ring shot from one of my favorite second shooters, @LeslieClagg . In my book, Leslie is the queen of balancing rings and senior photos. (She's a great wedding tog too, but head on over to her site and you'll see what I mean about seniors- best in the state fo' sho.) ⠀

To those of you planning a wedding, and starting to feel overwhelmed, may I offer a gentle reminder. THIS is the only thing that really matters. I love the beautiful details that go into weddings, I really do, and there is nothing wrong with wanting the day you become a family to be welcoming, fun, and pretty. But all of that is collateral beauty. Anytime something is stressing you out, give yourselves permission to let it go. ⠀
Say your vows, promise to love each other even if some day you fall out of liking each other, go all in, and ask God to bless your union. That is a wedding and that is all you need. #vows #elkinswv ⠀

Had a lovely time meeting with a couple this evening looking to have a Melkite ceremony this May. I’ve never attended a Melkite mass before, let alone a wedding, but it sounds amazing. The excitement in Beth and Aaron’s voices was contagious. Think crowning ceremonies and symbolic walks around an altar with the gospel and cross at the center. I love it when couples use the ceremony to share their faith with their guests. 💕.⠀
