They sat in my office and smile as she told me about her wedding day. “It’s just going to be magical” she said as she smiled over at her mom. Brittnie is a princess at heart. I could tell that from the first 5 minutes of meeting her and then as I got to know her throughout the last 8 months, I found out that Britt has been a princess for a LONG time. That’s how everyone talks about her. She’s just so sweet and kind and “princess-like”. This description couldn’t have rang more true than on her wedding day. I walked into the bridal suite and there she was, curling her hair and singing along to a disney sound track with her gorgeous voice! Britt was so excited… and a little nervous because everything about
her magical wedding day was coming to life right before her eyes. It was here!! Finally!! After 6 years of dating, she was finally marrying her high school sweetheart! She put on her princess gown and we headed out for the First Look. As she walked closer and closer, the once cool and collected Austen started to get nervous. They had waited for this day for so long. She walked around him and as he cried and hugged her, he just kept repeating “We’re here…we’re finally here.”. Gosh I love these moments!!! This was their only time to be alone on their wedding day and I felt so honored that I was there to document it. After the tears were wiped away, hugs and kisses were exchanged and we began their wedding day.
The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. Kings Family Vineyard has the most beautiful view and the storms seemed to go right around us the entire day!! However, we were close enough to one to have a rainbow join us during the ceremony! So beautiful!!! So enjoy this peek into Austin and Brittnie’s big day!! Watch out, I have a ton of favorites!!
