Before Candice and Michael’s wedding, I got the sweetest email from Candice’s mom. She was telling me about how excited Candice was to have me as a part of her wedding experience…and the email brought me to tears! This was days BEFORE the wedding! I knew it was going to be an incredible day. I truly cried more at this wedding than I ever have in the dozens of weddings I photographed! The entire day was so special. Candice and Michael have such a sweet, special type of love. They truly believe that they were created to love each other…and it shows. From the way they look at each other to the way they support each other and celebrate the things that the other one loves…it’s just a beautiful thing to witness. I feel so lucky that I was able to capture it all!

From a teary-eyed first look to handwritten vows and beautiful speeches…I cried at every piece of this wedding. And I loved it!!! Haha!! There are so many sweet moments in this blog post that I just can’t wait for you to see. The military elements to honor Michael’s service, the thoughtful ways they loved on their guests, the DISNEY playlist at the reception (!!!) and the thoughtful ceremony made this day such a special one to be a part of.

Michael and Candice: I hope you are enjoying every second of your honeymoon and that you love these favorites of mine as much as I do!!!!

I just LOVE Candice’s unique floral ring!!!
