I couldn’t have dreamed up a better finish to our 2016 wedding season. This may seem a little cheesy, but Jackie & Dan’s wedding was something out of a fairytale. From her whimsical gown to the stunning cathedral, there wasn’t a flaw to be found. More than that, I loved watching how sweetly & tenderly Jackie’s dad gave his only daughter—his princess—away. Daddy/daughter moments have a way of melting me—especially since I treasure the relationship my dad & I share so deeply.
As Ryan & I were packing up our bags & saying goodbye, it was a little bittersweet—another amazing wedding season in the books. I must admit, I breathed a major sigh of relief. All that is left to do now is rest, finish all of October’s editing, & have a baby—crazy! Life will never be the same in such a good way & I am already looking forward to all the joy & love that is to come with 2017’s wedding season.
