I was so honored to be asked to be a part of Vanessa and Joe’s wedding, and I’ve been looking forward to it for months! I knew that this wedding would be an intentional, creative and highly personal celebration…three things I think should be a part of every wedding day. It was amazing to actually see Vanessa’s creative DIY touches everywhere and know that the wedding was a labor of love. Truly one of the best parts of the day was observing Joe & Vanessa’s relationship with Kaydee…the sweetest and most excited little member of the wedding party, Joe’s daughter. I hope that my capture of this day does justice to it all!
Joe & Vanessa’s favors were jars of honey from their own bees!In addition to the most amazing cake ever, there was an array of the best home made desserts, brought by some family and friends!An incredible heirloom lemon quartz, first worn by Vanessa’s grandmama. Breathtaking….
