Natalie and Tyler’s Golden Hour Wedding

The thing I never get tired of no matter how many weddings I attend is that look of pure joy when two partners get to spend their day looking at each other. It was evident from their constant grins at our engagement session that Natalie and Tyler simply enjoy each others’ presence, especially as they sat hand-in-hand splashing their feet in the creek.

But seeing their faces light up, eyes shining, as they saw each other for the first time in their wedding finery, it was like no one and nothing else in the world mattered at that moment. I love first looks for that reason, but particularly because even in the middle of a hectic day, the instant they were together they both breathed easier, seemed so much more at peace.

After an engagement session, a bridal portrait shoot and several hours spent planning, I felt like I really knew these two, so watching them exchange vows left me just as teary-eyed. To get to celebrate two people who are unendingly caring and sweet to all they encounter was such an honor.

Thank you to everyone who made Natalie and Tyler’s day such a beautiful one filled with so much joy!
