Robert and Stephanie Say "I Do"

Congratulations to another one of my beautiful couples. This wedding tugged at my heart strings the whole day. Every personal touch was delivered with such thoughtful insight that I was holding back happy tears behind my lens.

If you’ve been wondering if you should add the little sentimental touches to your big day, here’s your sign to say yes!

Stephanie and Robert’s love is deep, and nuanced. The moment Robert opened the gift that Stephanie gave him in honor of his mother who had passed, I knew that this was going to be a day to remember. It was such an honor to see Robert ask his friend’s mother to accompany him on the dance floor for the mother son dance, honoring the love he had for his dear mother while also honoring a woman who has stepped up in a very maternal capacity for him.

The beautiful couple also is building a stunning family together. Stephanie’s son stood alongside Robert as a groomsmen, and their little bundle of joy to be walked down the aisle in mom’s belly. I will always applaud women who manage to juggle the stresses of pregnancy and a wedding at the same time! Talk about a super-hero!

Rounding out the night, this amazing couple had a fantastic reception filled with lots of fun, tradition, dancing, and memories that will last a lifetime. The bride made a quick change into a second dress, and surrounded by friends and family, they danced the night away.

I wish you both a lifetime of joy, and can’t wait to see your family grow. Congratulations newlyweds!
