The wedding photos are here!

So, who was up at 4am to watch the Royal Wedding?

Not me, but I did DVR it and am so excited to live vicariously through the new Princess Kate. :-)

In the meantime, yesterday I was able to relive what it felt like to be a princess on my own wedding date because our photographers blogged all the recap of the best photos of the day on their blog. We got their text as the first thing we saw when we woke up, and sat in bed getting teary eyed as we woke up to preview the beautiful story of our day over again!

So many of you have already reached out with sweet emails and Facebook comments about how the pictures made you cry. So sorry! But I'm so glad that you could share in our day and be moved by it. Our greatest prayer for our wedding that it could help inspire people toward Christ's love, as well as honor my dad who couldn't be there to walk me down the aisle.

Here's a few of my favorite shots from the day that I borrowed from their blog, but be sure to check out the Gray's full blog to see a lot more in the the full showcase at:

p.s. Be sure to leave a comment on their blog because we get fun prizes from them if we reach 75 comments! You can also leave them here too of course. :-)

A few of you might remember this amazing wedding I shot which these shoes. At the time, I kind of flipped out when I saw the shoes, and Cara's aunt was so kind to make me a pair like she did for Cara. I have been saving them for 3 years and was excited to finally wear them!


My 1st love and ring bearer, the Rhett-ster.




My handsome hot husband who I had prayed so many years for. I still pinch myself all the time that he's finally here!


My awesome paper designs by Jessi of Just Invite Me!




Yes, you know every girl wants this reaction from the man she's walking down the aisle toward!





A moment of looking over at my dad's picture and missing him tremendously in that moment.




I promise, when I started wedding planning, I said I didn't want a lot of froo froo for the reception. But, well, I couldn't help it in the end.


You know how obsessed with pink I am, so you know how much I adored the lighting design! I truly recommend lighting design as a must for how your reception atmosphere and pictures look in the end. By the way, the cake topper was my parents original cake topper from 1975!




Back when my dad started chemo, just in case he wouldn't make it, I asked him to have a father daughter dance with me that I could play at my wedding one day. While playing the video, I asked my mom for a dance so the three of us could dance together. To view the actual video, you can see it in my archives here.




And you know how obsessed I've been with this word for years. I love how our photographers captured the rings with it! ha!




And this blog entry couldn't be complete without a huge shout out to our amazing vendors that helped make the wedding day become what it did!! A lot of these are colleagues we've worked with in the industry, but are also great friends. They come highly recommend!

We're married!

I was never the girl who dreamed about her perfect wedding growing up. I was the girl who dreamed about where my husband was under the moon somewhere. I always felt so strongly that God was designing that one man just for me. I wasn't on a mission to find the perfect man, but I knew in my heart that God was preparing someone perfectly for me. And I knew when I met him, I would recognize him right away. I wouldn't question, I wouldn't doubt, I would absolutely know it was Him when God brought him to me because of all the years I had been praying for him before I even met him.

Yet, I truly feel like I had the perfect wedding. Everytime someone asked me what I thought, I just simply said, "It's perfect. I couldn't have asked for more."

But now that the wedding has passed, it still hasn't quite hit me.

Oh my gosh, I'm married. I mean, we're married. Stephen always lets me know we are now "our" not "I". :-)

I can't believe how quickly the day passed. As a photographer it seems to drag on and on but as a bride, I feel like I blinked and it was over. I'm so glad that we had some amazing photographers and videographers there to capture the blur that it was!

We are still anxiously waiting to see our wedding photos and highlight video (gosh, now I know what my clients go through wanting to see their photos quickly!), but here's a few teasers our photographers Gray Photography released.

FYI, I got my veil custom made from Fascinating Creations. You must check them out!

It's finally our wedding day!!!!!

Ok, first, no, I'm not blogging on my own wedding day. I'm not THAT obsessed with social media. But yes, I have prepared this blog entry ahead of time because I wanted to share something special with you.

Today at our wedding, we are showcasing a special video we had made of our love story. Back when I was a little girl, I remember being in love with a show on TLC called "A Wedding Story." It was one of the original wedding reality shows that started with a bride and groom telling their love story and then transitioning into their wedding day. I remember daydreaming about what my own love story would be one day that I could tell my kids and grandkids. I knew, one day, whenever God brought me the man of my dreams, that I would want to create our own love story video to play at our wedding.

So here it is! It was filmed in Coronado where Stephen is from and produced by our videographers 4120weddings.com. From our heart to yours, enjoy!

1 day and counting...

Reason #12 why I can't wait to marry Stephen

It's the way he has also believed in the sacredness of true love waits and the beautiful gift that is to receive from the man I am marrying tomorrow!!!!!


One of my favorite engagement photos in the way it symbolizes Stephen leading me through our life together.

Lastly, be sure to tune in to the blog tomorrow because even though I won't be blogging, I have set up a blog post to publish with our special love story video we are playing at our wedding, made by our videographers 4120weddings.com.

Thank you SO much to everyone who has been with us on our journey from the beginning. We are so grateful for all your kind words, encouragement, support and prayers as we approach our big day!!!

2 days and counting...

Reason #11 why I can't wait to marry Stephen

It's the way he has such a big heart for helping others and hardly asks anything in return.


Ok, so there was one thing he asked in return.

Suzanne & Matt are married /// Amelia Island Ritz Carlton Luxury Wedding Photographer

Though Suzanne and Matt are from New York, Suzanne grew up spending her summer vacations in Florida and wanted a destination wedding near her childhood memories. At their reception, the Best Man joked "When I heard they were having a destination wedding, I thought I would be giving my toast in front of about 30 people, but 180 of you showed up!" Suzanne and Matt celebrated with a huge turn out at the Amelia Island Ritz Carlton for a weekend of fun in the sun surrounded by a lot of love.

When it came to their First Meet, I loved seeing how much Matt made Suzanne laugh when it was just the two of them together during their photo time. It was rare to have a moment when she didn't have a gorgeous smile on her face to complement her natural vibrant blue eyes. Here's some of my favorites from the day!
