Like most wedding days, everything was a few minutes behind schedule. It’s amazing how FAST time flies on your big day! 20 minutes seems like 5! Becca somehow managed to get ready in record time (of course it doesn’t take much to get her ready, she’s just naturally drop dead gorgeous!). She got in her dress, hugged her momma goodbye and we headed to her First Look with Hunter. Becca explained to me a few weeks before the wedding day that she had been writing letters to Hunter since they started dating (4 years ago!) and she wanted him to read one before he saw her. Perfect. I love stuff like this!! Maybe it’s because I’m a girl… or maybe it’s because I did the EXACT same thing for Michael!
So I got Hunter ready and in place and then handed him his journal. I explained that he needed to read the letter she had written to him for their wedding day and that I would be back in a few minutes with his bride. Talk about a build up!!! Becca came around the corner and Hunter was literally BEAMING. You just wait until you see the pictures, you’ll agree. She was stunning. So elegant and such a natural beauty!! I was PUMPED! The excitement from their first look alone was enough to carry me through the whole day!!!
It was a perfect 75 degrees, sunny and picture perfect! My sister helped me out since I had a double decker this weekend and it was my first one of the year! I can’t thank her ENOUGH! And I can’t thank Becca enough for being AWESOME. Seriously, I’m SO thankful that at this stage in my business I am attracting brides that could literally be my best friends! They love what I love and they will do anything for some amazing portraits! Her timeline was wonderful and it was a photographer’s dream! So Hunter and Becca, THANK YOU for allowing me to document this amazing day. Your story, your personalities and your love for one another just melts my heart and I’m actually sad that this journey is over. I have loved getting to know you two this year!! Enjoy your honeymoon and this MASSIVE blog post!!! xoxo
