I first met Hillary while photographing her sister Amanda’s wedding couple years ago. I absolutely fell in love with this family then and was honored when Hillary asked me to document her wedding day. There is something so special about shooting weddings in my home state. Everyone is so loving, so welcoming and so full of joy.

The day greeted us with rain. And more rain. And more rain. But, at the very end of the night, less than an hour before I was due to leave, the clouds parted and the sun peeked out, giving us just enough time to venture outside. What a blessing! The whole day was so memorable to me personally and one that I will hold in my heart for years to come.

Congrats to you two, Hillary and Mike. Thanks for welcoming into your day. I pray blessings upon your marriage!

Some of the most powerful moments I have ever had the pleasure to capture. Mike’s birth mother and adoptive mom seeing each other for the first time in 28 years.
