FUN. VIBRANT. HONORING. HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!
Just to give you an intro to Brandon & Salem:
This couple has been engaged for over 5 years. Yeah. 5! So you can only imagine how happy of a day this was for EVERYONE! When they asked me to do their engagement photos, I was thrilled. But when they asked me to do their wedding, I thought,
“I can’t photograph their wedding! I’ll cry the ENTIRE time!”
So on their wedding day, I drove up to the church and said to myself, “I got this! I ain’t gonna cry! I’ve done plenty of weddings.” Well, my pride got the best of me that day, my friends. Keep scrolling and you’ll see…
The rings in the bible were so special. This bible was Salem’s grandmother’s. Usually with Bible shots, I try and find a page without any notes or highlights to put the rings on for a typical bible ring shot. IMPOSSIBLE! Every single page was underlined, written in, and highlighted! So there was no way I could use just any page. So I did something a little different… and I loved it!
Y’all this dress. It was seriously made for this girl…

Brandon was all smiles. I don’t think he ever stopped smiling. Ever. He was like a kid on the first day of summer!
Tuxedos: Men’s Wearhouse
The Moms celebrating this happy day!
Salem put that gown on and I lost it. First time I’ve ever cried, besides my own, when a bride put on her wedding gown on her wedding gown.
Salem snuck up on her dad accidentally and we got this reaction! He was so surprised to see this beauty!
I loved capturing these sweet moments between Salem and her mom. What a sweet friendship they have.
Alright, ya’ll. This is it. This is when I LOST it.
I had to put my focus in auto focus because I was tearing up so much. I mean look at that face!
…and this is my job!
Salem really wanted to commemorate her grandmother. She did so through her bouquet of carnations and roses
Flowers: Publix
MR & MRS!
That cake was so good everyone was lickin’ their forks!
Yes. That is a gameboy cake for Brandon. Designed specifically for him. Probably the coolest groom’s cake I’ve ever seen!

Reason #48 to cry: It was Brandon’s grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary. Yeah.
He painted them a saw for their anniversary gift.
What a beautiful and honorable wedding! Hopefully you didn’t cry as much as I did.
So cute! Although that looks like a saw, not an axe?
Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures, i’m his great aunt and couldn’t make it to the wedding, Keep up the wonderful job..
You really captured the bond and love between these two. I think they showed more expression than any of the other weddings you have done. To God be the glory!
Great is HIS faithfulness
