Emily + Jordan

Love is sweet and Jordon and Emily have it--that sweet, tender, passionate, unconditional love for each other. You can see it in their eyes. They both lite up uncontrollable when they saw each other for the "first look" on their wedding day.

When I met with Emily prior to the wedding day she was as happy + anxious as can be to marry her man and become Mrs.Colvin forever. She had been waiting for this day to come and when it finally did she was as joyous and beautiful as ever (and so was Jordan). She told me several times that Jordon was

her rock

, her safe place. He made her feel complete, safe and calm--fulfilled, and that is the exact reason she wanted to do the "first look" instead of waiting til she walked down the aisle.

Emily and Jordon's wedding was very nontraditional and I loved it, it was "them" and let me tell you it was so lovely. Everything. Simple lovely.

One day, far away, you gently won my heart

And one night, by candlelight, we made a vow to never part

And then it seemed just like a dream

When wide eyed, side by side

We faced the future holding hands"// -Steve Green

ara + Garrett

Incredible.

We pulled into Sara's parents house where the girls were getting ready. There was wedding decorations outside the house to get everyone into wedding mode. As we walked in we hear girls giggling, the smell of hair spray, and many smiling faces greeting us. Sara was so so giddy, like I've never seen any bride be. She was full of vibrant life and excitement. She kept saying "I get to married Garret today!!"

*with a squeal

over and over. With her Starbucks cup in hand, that said "Bride", she was getting ready to be Garrett's bride forever. As she got her dress on everyone had to hold back tears of joy because...

"SARA WAS GETTING MARRIED TO GARRETT TODAY!"

We headed off to do the First Look. Sara waiting in the car. We took Garrett back to the spot where he would see his bride for the first time. Sara headed down the path to see her Groom. She took off his blind fold and the look on both of their faces was priceless pure joy is the only way I can describe it. I believe that is truly what God intended for Husband and Wife to find in each other.

The ceremony was God-honoring, emotional and overflowing with tears of laughter and joy. Even though they got rained out and had to move the ceremony to the Barn, Sara and Garrett didn't let it put a damper on their day or their mood--high spirits the entire day. Oh, and the bridal party was fantastic helpers, seriously, the best I've seen.

Garrett + Sara and are like two peas in a pod. I know that's kinda corny but they are. They just match. They rhyme well. Mesh perfectly. They are each other's God-send.

Oh and yes, every detail of this wedding was particular and unique. Sara you had an amazingly-beautiful wedding. Check out their first dance too--incredible.
