“there’s more here than what we’re seeing
a divine conspiracy
that you, and angel lovely
could somehow fall for me”
-dave barnes
this day has been nearly 10 years in the making, and there was no shortage of joy and excitement for allie and kevin when their wedding day finally arrived! i remember when i photographed her sister emily’s wedding a few years ago, hoping that one day i would get to see their family again for allie and kevin’s wedding, and it was a complete honor to be welcomed into their family again for such an important, special day! allie and kevin, i completely adore you both! i hope you’re having THE BEST time on your honeymoon! you deserve it! :) xo! 
allie had every detail laid out for me in a clean hotel room full of windows and gorgeous natural light… it was a photographers dream! she was so organized and on top of it! and a big thank you to her incredible florist jennifer morris for including lots of extra greenery for me to use for these photos! just wait till you see her bouquet!
looking SO dapper, sir! 
allie got ready with just her mom and sister, which was SO special, and then did a big reveal to the rest of her bridesmaids! i loved it! 
good gosh allie you are the most stunning bride!! 
i seriously could have done bridal portraits of allie all. day. long. i would have shared 20 more of them if i had the room in this blog post! 
have i told you lately how cathedral length veils are my faaaaavorite?! 
time to get married! 
i think everyone else was tearing up right along with kevin :) 
we had about 5 minutes (literally) to make all these photos happen before it started POURING! thankfully we made those 5 minutes count!! 
this was the coolest way to end the reception! they had confetti cannons shoot off and it COVERED the room (and my flash, as you can tell by the color in these next photos!) in confetti! SO fun! 
congratulations again mr. & mrs. may!! xo!
