Kim and Joe's winter wedding was one that I will never forget. The sense of community and celebration was tangible, and I was overwhelmed throughout the day witnessing it all.

The most memorable part of this day took place right before the ceremony. Things were running a little late (as they often do on wedding days), and so guests were encouraged to chat with those around them as we waited for some key guests to arrive. I was weaving in and out of the pews at the church, snapping candids of the guests, and at one moment, I stopped. I stood silent in the center of the aisle, as Kim and Joe's guests talked around me, everyone filled with excitement over the wedding. The volume kept rising, the joy bubbling out of people who were so grateful to be together in the same room. I began to tear up, feeling overwhelmed by the love in the room, feeling grateful that I got to be in that particular church at that particular moment for this particular couple's wedding. What a gift.

Kim and Joe's wedding day was beyond perfect. From their candlelit ceremony to a reception that felt like one big family dinner, every bit of it was well thought out and focused on celebrating relationship. What an honor to celebrate with people in this way. To photograph the moments that are on replay in people's minds, moments that are so pivotal to another person's story. I'm so happy to let you in on a few images from their day.
