This blog is a long one so I apologize in advance, I just couldn’t narrow it down. This one is very personal to me and near and dear to my heart. This is my baby cousin tying the knot!

I was super excited to photograph this wedding but when the day came I felt a huge rush of nerves and emotions come over me. My entire family would be there watching me do what I do, and my baby cousin is getting married and I get to document it. It was a bit overwhelming but such a wonderful experience.

Leading up to their big day Bobbi-Jo was constantly smiling ear to ear. She was the happiest I had ever seen her. When they say a bride just beams with joy, B was the epitome of that. So when I walked into the Beveridge that morning, I knew it would be just the same. And there she was, drenched in the beautiful natural light the room had to offer and just glowing. She looked amazing and she wasn’t even all ready yet. Did I mention the room was all mint too? I died a little, it was kind of made for me.

Watching her turn into a bride was absolutely amazing. This was her day. All eyes were on her and she was the center of attention. She deserved every minute of it. But the modest girl that she is she took it with strides and was so graceful. She took every single moment in, breathed it in and lived it. It was her day.

Watching her walk down the aisle was a little crazy for me. I had been going through a lot of personal stuff, including a loss, so maybe my emotions were high but I just could not stop the tears from flowing. Maybe it was the fact that her mom and dad looked so incredibly proud and also had so many happy tears. Or maybe it was that her brother, Tyler, was playing the guitar while she walked to her groom. Every thing was just so incredibly special.

This wedding had so many special elements to it. Everything was personal and well thought out. From the video thank you speeches, to her sister basically planning her whole wedding, to my mom making the jam jars, and Michelle making all the yummy treats. Everyone helped out where they could and put together a beautiful day.

I will never forget this day. It definitely reminded me what true love looks like. The way Josh and Bobbi-Jo are together is like nothing I have ever seen. It is complete unconditional love.

We love you guys so much, thank you for including us in such a special day.
