    {Married!} Danielle & Justin

    Its such an honor to be a part of someone’s wedding day. It’s more than just capturing the family and friends…but the moments of promise, hope, love and commitment that last for the rest of their lives. We don’t take that for granted. Danielle and Justin love each other so completely and honestly…it’s hard not to feel like you’re in the ending of one of your favorite Jane Austen books. Take a look at their day…and be warned…this is a long post….but in a good way!

    What do you get 10 bridesmaids for being a part of your special day? These SUPER cute rings!

    Danielle and her mother look so much alike. It was amazing just how calm they both were on the wedding day. It’s as if everything just fell beautifully into place.



    Just a few of the bride….and might I add she’s as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. STUNNING Danielle!





    After getting ready, Danielle and Justin had made time for a first look. Oh how I love a first look! It removes the jitters and makes your first moments of the day SO SO personal and special. They wanted to see one another for the first time with Danielle coming down the aisle in the sanctuary to her groom. We got TONS…and I mean TONS of photos…but here are a few of our faves. Don’t you love the natural light coming into the church?


    Justin is one of our all time favorite grooms. He was SO into Danielle…and he just lavished loving and beautiful words over Danielle. He was so thoughtful and just such a gracious host to us AND his friends. He’s quite the catch!

    We got a handful of bridal party shots before the wedding. A bridal party with over 20 people! Crazy…but great!


    It rained off and on before the ceremony…so our locations had to get creative…. :)


    The ceremony was really beautiful. It was sacred and just so special. A great reminder of the holiness of marriage.




    A lovely exit…to the reception….


    Just before stepping into the reception, we get a few shots of just the bride and groom…ahhh…love!






    The reception was held close to the beautiful Augusta National Golf Course {The Master’s} at The Lodge On Heath.




    A sweet sweet first dance…



    Love this one…Danielle and her dad, Dan.




    There was so much love on this day. Daniel and I are reminded each time we shoot a wedding together of what love is all about …and reminded of the promises we made to one another. It’s the best part of what we do. Congrats to Danielle and Justin on such a sweet day…may you remember this day always with love and adoration.
