Dwan+Laura are the most kind, gentle souls I know. And, my goodness, are they ever loved well. Their wedding was overflowing with friends+family who desired to be apart of this union of two special people. I am known to cry behind my camera at times. Those tears came flowing when they opened the door to insanely beautiful music and then I see Laura at the end of the aisle with her gentle smile towards her groom. It was such a powerful moment that I will never forget. They had two receptions because they wanted to include as many people from their church as possible. Their church is filled with so much community and love for one another. I actually met Dwan as a groomsmen in Trey+Shannon's beautiful wedding. Their large group of friends all go to church together and it has been so fun getting to know them all after these two weddings. So, here a few of my favorite images from their day. Enjoy!
Laura+Dwan decided not to see each other before the wedding but wanted to exchange letters and talk. They met in the beautiful, small chapel on the Christ Church campus. I was truly overwhelmed with the beauty of that small room. And then was even more overwhelmed at the sweet moment that took place between the two of them. Here is a glimpse of what took place...
And here is Laura walking down the aisle to the most amazing music. This is when I wish photos had sound attached to them. Such a beautiful moment.
They took communion together and then had their entire family and bridal party join them for prayer. Such a perfect example of the community and love they have for one another.
We were able to sneak away to Dwan's picture perfect neighborhood for a few photos of just the two of them. And the leaves could not have been more colorful which is exactly what Laura wanted.
Their reception was a perfect end to their day. Dwan+Laura, thanks so much for allowing me to apart of your sweet day!
