Oh, where do I begin?!? From the moment I met these two for coffee to chat about their Copper River Country Club wedding, I was smitten with how smitten these two were about each other!!! So I was BEYOND honored and thrilled when they asked me to document their wedding day!! And am so excited to share their beautiful burgundy and gold wedding with you today!  
 
Beyond the gorgeous florals and details of the day, the moment that stood out to me was as Sydney walked arm and arm down the aisle with her dad. Her smile seemed as if it was floating down the aisle towards Austin where he stood, gazing at his bride. It’s as if the whole world stood still in this moment. Just for them. Just for that singular moment. Their joy and love for one another was palpable. Even through the mass with eyes faced forward, their smiles shared a thousand things felt.  
 
Every detail of this day was seamlessly executed by the lovely Your Inspired Event. I feel blessed to have been able to work alongside such an amazing team! A BIG thank you to the wonderful Diane Angel Photography for helping me capture this day. Most especially, thank you to Austin + Sydney for the joy of documenting the beginning of your forever as husband and wife! Here are just a few of my favorites from their day!

Absolutely adored this sweet moment of Sydney’s dad seeing her for the first time…
