Garett was most nervous about the ceremony, after which she proudly announced, “I didn’t pass out!” Rain could or could not have made an appearance on her wedding day, but she didn’t mind. Seth was the same way. Positive about everything that happened, even if it didn’t seem like a good thing. “[Rain] made our pictures different from everyone else’s and was a unique experience to out day.” At the end of the day they were married, a fact everyone was excited about.

It did rain and was fairly chilly, but Seth, Garret and their wedding party were determined to have a good time and were such a breeze to work with. I can’t recall a single moment that I didn’t have a big goofy grin on my face.

There’s no question why so many of their loved ones traveled to be with them on their day. They embrace you fully. They are a special couple, there’s no doubt about that. And they will continue to love, serve and support those around them. It’s just that now they get to do so as husband and wife!

Congratulations Mr. + Mrs. M it was truly an honor to capture your day and witness your union!

What a warm day it was for these two, but their wedding party didn’t let that damper their celebrating. It was such a fun group of people. Katherine & Michael have carefully surrounded themselves with a great support network as they embark on their married life. A network that will continue to encourage them in their faith and their love for one another.

The Boerner Botanical Gardens served as the most beautiful backdrop for their photos. Everywhere I turned another stunning scene, so I had to be a little picky so we were able to get them to their party on time. The soft blue hues and gray suits popped so brilliantly against the greenery of the Gardens.

And I must offer s quick shout out to Jill, who took such incredible care of our bride. She was with her the entire day and really made sure things flowed smoothly from start to finish.

God’s richest blessings to the newlyweds!

A travel themed wedding was certainly suitable for Ben + Julie. Throughout their relationship they have traveled thousands upon thousands of miles. I don't know many people who have made long distance look as easy as they have. Their wedding day solidified that they will forever be one another's travel companion. No more long distance for these two!

My favorite details of incorporating the travel theme were the luggage tags that served as place tags, how each table featured a different destination and finally that a book of maps served as their guestbook.

Ben's best man, Noah, touched on the fact that Ben + Julie were both cross country runners as well. Yet another way that they had traveled many miles. They have run the duration of their dating relationship, and now will begin to run the race that God has marked out for them as husband and wife.

Congratulations + God's richest blessings, Mr. + Mrs. B!
