It was over three years ago when Charity and I would stay up late in our dorm room talking about these boys that we “liked.” It’s so crazy because now we’re married to those boys that we would talk about late at night! It all seems like it was yesterday. Charity became one of my best friends my freshmen year of college, and I am SO thankful for our friendship. To say it was an honor to capture her wedding day is a huge understatement. We would always talk about our future weddings to each other, so having the opportunity to be a part of her day was absolutely amazing!

I have so many favorite parts of Charity and Evan’s wedding day! I loved how Charity wore her great grandmother’s pearl bracelet and her grandmother’s pearl necklace. Not only that, but they were all there to help Charity get ready for her wedding day. It was such a blessing to capture such an amazing time! Charity’s great grandmother prayed over her while her mother and grandmother stood by her side. It was a moment that I will never forget! Charity and Evan decided to do a first look, and it was SO amazing. You all know that I just love when my couples choose to have first looks. We were able to capture all of their portraits before the ceremony so that they could spend more time with their family!

If I could sum up their wedding day with one word it would be joy! You will see just how joyful they both were during the whole entire day! Charity was so radiant and her smile and laughter were so contagious. I couldn’t help but smile as I was picking out my favorite images because their joy was so evident! I’m so pretty confident that you all will be smiling too once you see these images haha.

Charity and Evan, thank you so so much for giving me this opportunity to capture your wedding day. I’ve just loved getting to know you both through the years, and I’m so grateful for our friendship. It means so much to me, and I couldn’t be happier for the both of you!
