Good afternoon! Happy Monday!
You are in for a treat today.
I’m so thrilled to share our first wedding of the year with you today. *sigh* It’s such a good one. The details, I think, are off the charts. The closeups. The dimensional lighting is surreal. And the bridal portraits……. Oh Katy, these make my little timeless heart melt.
Anyone can see on the outside that Katy and Matt are a photographer’s dream. Not only are they beautiful, but their JOY just jumps off the screen in these images. You’ll see. They’re an absolute delight to be around and to photograph. But aside from their love’s outward beauty, what I love most about Katy and Matt is the value they place on their legacy. On their love. Everything about their day was so intentional and heartfelt. There’s peace in my heart knowing they will treasure these images and the legacy they help tell. Katy and Matt both come from wonderful families with solid parents. You’ll see how close they are with their folks as they pop up in several images today.
Katy and Matt… seriously. Thank you. Thank you being yourselves around me. And for reminding me what joy in love looks like! You two are so beautiful inwardly and outwardly. I’m grinning so big as I write thinking about your day and the fun we had. Love you guys.
So much love and even MORE joy to you,
René
Huge thank you to Cassie Zink for shooting with me! And COMPLETELY and utterly ROCKING this wedding. She’s so talented. She gives a new name to “guys getting ready” photos. I am so thankful for her awesome side shots during the first looks and family portraits. Just gorgeous!
Speaking of gorgeous, those details I was telling you about.
And the bridal portraits. The bridal portraits!
These details Cassie grabbed make me melt!
*sigh* This is another all-time favorite bridal portrait. Katy’s gaze is so gorgeous!
Love this shot that Cassie shot of Matt prepping for his vows.
Timeless, I tell you. I live for shots like these.
