Wedding - Brad & Katie

On Brad and Katie’s wedding day, I showed up mentally prepared for the most stressful and demanding day in my photography career thus far (it being my first wedding to photograph). Instead I was pleasantly surprised. The mood for the day was already set. Nothing could have altered it.

The joining of two lives is a big deal and we all felt it.

When Brad turned around to see Katie for the first time, the whole room held its breath with them. You just can’t fake an atmosphere like that. <3

Here are just a few of my favorite images from this dreamy wedding day.
