Anna & Luke could not have picked a more perfect day for their wedding—& they had multiple shots at it! After rescheduling a total of three times due to the pandemic restrictions, Friday, May 14, 2021 was the date they settled on & it was a day hand picked from a dream. In my opinion, this thoughtful, fun-loving couple deserved every bit of it!
The most memorable part of this gorgeous spring day was the way Anna & Luke chose to honor Anna’s late mom. From the locket carefully placed on Anna’s bouquet to the marquee ring on Anna’s right hand, Sally was truly experienced in every moment. What’s more, lilacs were her favorite flower & their fragrance filled the gardens during the ceremony. At one point, Anna mentioned she looks just like her mom to which I replied, “Your mom was beautiful.”
Anna & Luke — thank you for trusting me to share in every aspect of your wedding! While I’m sad our time working together is over, I am anxious to cheer you on through the upcoming journeys of life.
