Derrick and Leah chose to have a Sunday brunch wedding, which was entirely as awesome as it sounds. (Who wouldn't want to have a heaping big breakfast and bottomless mimosas at their reception?! But we're getting ahead of ourselves.)
Read MoreTheir wedding day started in the early morning dew on Kent Island, Maryland. They had rented two AirBnB's on opposite sides of the island - Leah and her ladies in a beautiful old cabin tucked away through the woods, and Derrick and his guys in an upstairs apartment overlooking an inlet.
Read MoreWe are SO excited for Nathan and Elaina's downtown D.C. wedding in October! We had a wonderful time hanging out with them over coffee and getting to know them a little bit better. They are so sweet to one another!
Read MoreWe met on the beach on Jupiter Island at dusk. It was so good to check in with Laura and Trevor a week after their wedding. Unlike a "Day After" session, waiting until near the end of your honeymoon gives you time to detox from the chaos of your wedding and find real peace and complete unity. And that's where we found them.
Read MoreWhat an incredible journey Laura and Trevor have been on, and what a beautiful way to begin life as husband and wife. The Honeymoon Sessions are a chance to continue telling your story with no time limit, no where else to be, no guests waiting for you - and your location? Anywhere. And tonight, anywhere was on a huge semi-buried coral reef on the Florida coast, a 45 minute drive from where Laura and Trevor were spending their honeymoon.
Read MoreJosh and Tabby's wedding reception was SO MUCH FUN! They held it at the Aviary in Lynchburg, and it couldn't have been a more perfect pairing with their boho backyard wedding at Tabby's grandparents' house. Their decorations were beautifully coordinated and practical - most of them even ended up decorating their new home!
Read MoreAfter their ceremony at Tabby's grandparents' beautiful old home, we had a few hours to spare before Tabby and Josh were going to be introduced at their reception at the Aviary in Lynchburg. So we went for a walk in downtown Lynchburg and, obviously, how could we not go out for ice cream too!
Read MoreTabby is a daddy's girl. She has been incredibly blessed to have such a godly father who has loved and cherished her, raising her up to be a godly woman. She wanted to honor her relationship with him with a very special first look.
Read MoreJosh and Tabby wanted to do a "first look, no peek" before their ceremony. They decided to wait until the ceremony for him to see her for the first time, but they still wanted to take a moment together privately before it all started, to pray together and exchange their gifts.
Read MoreAs Tabby grew up, she knew that she wanted to get married at her grandparents' home. The historic home with a wrap-around porch and lush backyard was the perfect setting for her and Josh to commit their lives to each other.
Read MoreThe other day a wonderful friend told us about this personality test that she and her husband had taken, and that it had really helped them in their marriage to understand one another better. She was telling us that, unlike other personality tests that only tell you about your characteristics, the Enneagram tells you why you do what you do.
Read MoreWe stayed with Ashley and Troy until well after sunset that night, exploring the grounds at Southern Palm Bed & Breakfast, finding giant lizards, and just witnessing their romance. As it got dark, they started to get more tired and snuggly, and it was so beautiful to see how Ashley felt so safe and so at peace in Troy's arms.
