there’s something beautiful about capturing the wedding of another photographer- not only is it a top priority to them that i get my shot but everything is thought out with pictures in mind. from the venue to the schedule, marissa & davey started with photographs and worked backwards. this gave us a brilliant location for images and plenty of time to take them- awesome!
the fact that they are wedding photographers also means that matt & i had EVERY detail before the day of the wedding- which was really fun for me since we all know i LOVE details! we had seen pictures of the bridesmaid’s dresses, knew the colors in the bouquets- davey even sent us a slideshow of images he took at the venue to give us an idea of the space. needless to say when we showed up we were ready!
i met marissa and her family for an intimate morning of hair and makeup before we met up with the bridal party at the venue. it was great to have some time to get to know marissa and her family- she’s quiet and so sweet and the stories she told me about her relationship with davey were so adorable it made me feel even more honored to be capturing their wedding!
here is a little taste of our morning- i love that hair salons always have a few little awesome and kinda bizarre details! this time? marissa = HOT!




meanwhile at the corley mill house! i love the direction in this image:

marissa and davey had an adorable table set up for their guests to write them little notes of encouragement, advice or congratulations. i bet these were so fun to read through after the wedding!

i love this image matt grabbed of davey’s grandmother checking the time just before the ceremony:







every couple has a special way of showing they care for one another- some couples talk about their love while some show it through an affectionate touch- i think all marissa & davey have to do is just LOOK at one other! there’s no denying their powerful connection and love in these next two images!




like i said before, pictures were super important to marissa & davey- which meant that their ceremony ended just in time for us to take their couple images at the most perfect golden hour! well planned, guys!

their reception was such a celebration! tons of their erskine friends reconnected with one another and there was an abundance of hugs and smiles. marissa & davey spent the evening talking to every single one of their guests and enjoying themselves to the fullest! a few of our fave reception shots:





marissa & davey, we are so honored you chose us as your photographers! your wedding day was so perfect and beautiful, we hope you are able to look back through your images and remember the best parts for the rest of your lives. happy marriage!
