"Oh, look, make sure you capture that light," Father McDonald said as we were posing Seth and Cecelia in the sweet adoration chapel. The light. The most perfect light shining through the beautiful stained glass windows onto the feet of the new husband and wife.
John 8:12 says, "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness but will have the light of life.”
Much like the colorful light beaming in on Seth and Cecelia's feet serves as a physical reminder of Christ's love and promises for us, their vow to join hands in Holy Matrimony conveys that same love and promise. A promise that they will never have to walk alone in the darkness.
"Make sure you get that light." The light of the world. Many prayers for Seth and Cecelia; that they may always feel the warmth of Christ's light on their marriage.
// my editing on these images is a little more moody and romantic than normal. It was done intentionally to show the depth of Christ's love for us and the romance he seeks in our lives.
DJ Kirby kept the party poppin'! I can't recommend him enough!

mass at St. Gregory, followed by a fun reception at the new Legacy Event Center at East Fork Lodge. Justin and Paige are the sweetest, most down-to-earth couple. I love their friendship and the way they make each other laugh.

There were several unique things about their wedding that I really thought were so cool! Their guestbook was fabric squares they were going to have made into a quilt! Paige asked several of her and Justin's aunts to wear blue as her "something blue." I thought that was a special way to incorporate a tradition in a new and fun way!
At the reception, Paige came up with a fun way to entertain their guests that wasn't the typical "shoe game." There were a lot of laughs and we got to learn a lot about Justin and Paige!
Please enjoy these teaser photos from their special day! {Please do not screenshot the photos, as this greatly diminishes the quality!}

On April 21, 2018, Alex & Jori were married in the cutest little church in Cosby, Missouri. Surrounded by all of their family and friends, they gathered to celebrate at Timber Ridge in Amazonia. It was such a wonderful day that ended with spectacular fireworks!
