Wedding Day: An Intimate Celebration

True confession: weddings make me cry. Not because of a sappy love story (for the most part), but because it’s hard to watch a mom look at her beautiful daughter on her wedding day with awe, love, and tears in her eyes and not feel a little emotional over that powerful reaction. Two people being surrounded by family and friends with whom they share a rich history and deep connection, about to start something even greater together, is an honor to witness.

I was truly grateful to be a part of Chris and Juliana’s wedding celebration, an intimate gathering of their closest family and friends. There was a lot of love in that celebration for both of them, and people came from near and far to see them start this new life together. Sometimes, the people you meet along your journey are the ones who become a sort of family in their own way, and because Juliana is originally from Brazil, this couldn’t be more true for her. And even though some of her family couldn’t be present physically, they were there in spirit . . . and FaceTime (thank goodness for modern technology!). The joy and happiness that Chris and Juliana shared on this day with their family and friends truly shines in their images. Wishing a lifetime of happy memories to this beautiful couple!
