Never in my life have I met two people who are more adored by every single person that they know. I met Michael and Trenton\u00a0a year ago for their first portrait session with their adorable pups<\/a> (they’ve since added another to the mix, and I can’t wait to photograph her!). We hit it off immediately since we share an obsession with our dogs, and we became fast friends \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

These two are cheerleading coaches, as well as awesome\u00a0small-business owners, and I’m so grateful to have documented their wedding day, which was such a beautiful occasion to celebrate these two incredible\u00a0people and their relationship together.<\/p>\n

How adorable are these invitations? (I may or may not have helped pick them out) \ud83d\ude09\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

We dodged the raindrops for a sweet First Look, and I love these quiet moments the grooms shared.\"\"\"\"\"\"During the ceremony, each of them listed reasons they love the other, and I would<\/em> say that there wasn’t a dry eye in the crowd, but I was crying too hard from behind my camera to know if that was true or not. I’m gonna go out on a limb and say that was indeed the case \ud83d\ude09\"\"\"\"During and immediately following the ceremony, a crazy storm was working its way through the area. Instead of heading outdoors for photos right away, we ducked into a conference room and got some intimate portraits.\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The skies cleared in time for us to get outside for a bit after all, so we took full advantage of that!\"\"\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

My dear friend Kristen Wynn<\/a> helped out for a few hours that day, and she was able to get these super fun drone shots!\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The rain started up again after a bit, which turned out to be an excellent reason to put this umbrella to use, which I just love.
\n\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

The uplighting made such an impact on the ballroom at the Marriott – the space looked great and the details were just beautiful.
\n\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

Cutest cake cutting ever? I think yes \ud83d\ude42\"\"<\/p>\n

A choreographed mother-son dance was only fitting for these guys! So much fun to watch!\u00a0\"\"\"\"\"\"<\/p>\n

To two of my favorite people, my best friends, and one of the most perfect couples in the whole wide world, congratulations. I love you guys, and I’m so glad I was a part of your big day! You deserve all the happiness the world has to offer, and I can’t wait to document all of your milestones (and puppies) for all of your days together. <3<\/p>\n
