This is a very special wedding that I’m sharing today! And the thing I love the most about this wedding is the couple! I had a lot of moments throughout their wedding day where I felt my eyes starting to water. However, there were two specific moments that stuck out to me. One was their first look and the other was when they burned the boundaries that they had wrote out and stuck to during the time that they dated.

Their First look, was one of my favorite first looks to date. Wedding days can be so hectic and busy and Skyler and Elizabeth absolutley relished and rested in those precious moments together. We faded into the background (as we should) and Skyler and Elizabeth just enjoyed those few peaceful moments together! Elizabeth wrote a little bit about her experience during her first look, and I loved it so much I had to share it, so you can read her experience down by the first look photos.

I remember when Elizabeth told me about the boundaries that they had written out while they were dating, and that they had wanted to burned them at the ceremony! I though, “What an awesome way to honor God in their relationship!” They are truly a couple committed to serving God and serving each other.

Skyler and Elizabeth, what an honor it was for me to capture the start of your incredible love story. It was such an honor for us just to be in the presence of such a God-filled space, and to be able to capture the raw, pure joy the two of you embody. I can’t wait to watch as the rest of your journey unfolds! Here are just a few of our many favorites from your beautiful day!

I loved what Elizabeth had to say about their first look so much, that I wanted to share with ya’ll what she wrote about their experience.

“Growing up I dreamt about my wedding day, in particularly the moment I would walk down the aisle, friends and family surrounding, and my almost husband would see me for the first time.

These photos were captured from one of my favorite moments of our wedding day, NOT the moment I described above.

In preparing for our wedding our amazing photographer suggested a first look. I didn’t like the idea until I thought about it....
Due to the boundaries Skyler and I had set in place for ourselves while dating, every moment was in some fashion shared with other people. “Privacy” was a very loose term for most of our relationship, and while that was our choice entirely, it was no less infuriating at times! Skyler and I love sharing our lives with anyone who cares enough to listen, but there are some moments better for just two.

Our first look was so special to me, because on the day we had so anxiously been waiting for, this is a memory that only we have. Photographers took photos and then disappeared while we took our time enjoying the excitement in that moment and really took in the fact that we were almost married.
Our family got to experience the rest of the day, but no one else has this precious memory, and no one else should.”

I have so much respect for these two! When Skyler and Elizabeth first started dating, they made a list of boundaries that they both stuck to, throughout their time dating. They kept the list and decided they they would burn it during the wedding ceremony!
