There was no other option—Jordan & Mitch’s wedding day was going to be perfect. While the flowers may have been arranged flawlessly & the napkins laid symmetrically on each gold charger, October 1st was the first day of Jordan & Mitch’s new life together & that alone made everything about their day perfect. Despite the threats of rain all week, I am so thankful this couple was showered with nothing but sunshine—the cherry on top, if you will. 
After being introduced into their reception as the new Mr. & Mrs. Ryan, I swiftly followed Jordan & Mitch through their crowd of cheering guests in preparation for the cake cutting. I was completely overcome with emotion—I have the opportunity to celebrate & capture real, authentic love every weekend & I often take it for granted. As our 2016 wedding season begins to wind down, my heart overflows with gratitude as I look at how blessed I am to call this my job.
