It all started with construction paper and excessive amounts of tape as a young kiddo. These days as an adult (sort of! Ha!) I express my creativity through photography. Every day I wake up grateful that my creative side meshes so well with my passion for people and turned into this dream into a career.
This was one stunning Rustic Timbers wedding! I am considering this the first fall wedding of the season and boy was it beautiful. The day was sunny and just had the most perfect weather. Katie and Justin are some of the neatest people I have ever met. I was beyond honored to be their wedding photographer.
Katie got ready for her wedding day surrounded by her family and close friends. You could feel the love in the room and there were so many smiles and lots of pizza! Katie made for one stunning bride and her smile lite up the entire room.
Justin calmly fixed his hair, buttoned his vest and tied his shoes. You could tell that he was so excited and so ready to meet his beautiful bride and say their forever vows.
Justin and Katie held hands around a door before the ceremony as they didn’t want to see each other until Katie walked down to meet her groom during the ceremony. It was so sweet to watch them clasp hands and say a few nervous words. I just love that I get to witness moments like that.
As Katie walked down the aisle, Justin’s face lit up. The moment they had both been waiting for was finally here and it was beautiful. They both wrote their own vows in a notebook and Katie said they plan on adding to the notebooks each year. I think that is so awesome!
The vows were said, ring exchanged and then they enjoyed their first kiss as husband and wife. Then it was time to get the party started! Delicious food, a scrumptious cake and a first dance that left no dry eyes. It was a fantastic party celebrating Justin and Katie.
Justin and Katie, thank you so much for choosing me to be your wedding photographer. It truly meant the world to me. I hope you honeymoon is more than amazing…hearts and hugs, Valerie .
