Here's the thing. I haven't "been around," blogging weddings or sessions since the end of September... which is totally not cool of me. So, even though this wedding may be from a few months ago, and the standard time for posting "A Look Back on 2017" has passed, I'm going to break the rules and look back on Fall 2017 and this beautiful couple's wedding day.
Melissa + Michael-- you two were so awesome to be around. On a couple's wedding day, there's pretty much only one time when the two have the day (almost) entirely to themselves-- during the couple's portraits. After the knot had been tied at church, we left all family and friends except for the wedding party, to head over to a quiet park filled with trails that winded amongst gorgeous autumnal red, orange, and yellow trees. We finished up our quick wedding party photos, then, finally Melissa + Michael had the forest to themselves.
There are so many intimate moments throughout a wedding day, but I don't know if there's a moment that allows for as much quiet, breathing time, and love as a couple's session mid-wedding day. I got to document a beautiful couple sharing crazy big smiles, holding each other tight to stay warm in the cool October afternoon, and running through the woods. It was a joy to be around these two in those moments. Michael + Melissa, thank you for letting me document your day!
