One of my best friends is Shandi and her daughter is Anna (the stunning bride that you’ll see in this post). When your best friend’s daughter gets married, you see a wedding from a completely different point of view. I saw this wedding through a mother’s eyes. So, yes, I cried and it was amazing. This wedding day was filled to the brim with love. Of course, there was the love between the bride and groom which was beautiful. But there was the unwavering love of a mother for her daughter. The precious love of a father for his little girl. The sweet love of a mother and father for their son. The love of grandparents, siblings, cousins, aunts, uncles and friends. But most importantly – the love of Jesus. And I was blessed to document it all! You might remember Anna and Ben from their PERFECT engagement session. If you haven’t seen it. Stop now. Click here and soak in their awesome and slightly windy engagement photos. Then come back and check out their even more perfect wedding photos! Anna and Ben were married on October 28th at the Wilds in Bloomington. Fall was showing off on their wedding day in bold and golden colors and we couldn’t have asked for a more stunning day. I tried to think of a favorite moment to talk about. Honestly, the entire day was full of highlights and sweet moments. But if I had to pick one – it would be at the very end of the night. There is a trend that has started over the past few years and it’s incredibly sweet! It’s a private last dance for the couple and I love the images from this moment for Anna and Ben. Nothing crazy. Just them being together. I’m so happy for you, Anna and Ben! I’m so excited to see what God has in store for you! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day!
