We all have had to make sacrifices in 2020 but that doesn’t mean you still can’t marry your person. For Gabriela and Meheer, they had a plan to have a big celebration in August and when the reality that is 2020 hit, these two made a new plan - Instead of August, how about July, instead of a venue in Madison, why not Gabriela’s parents’ rooftop patio, instead of 100+ people, why not immediate family only and instead of a wedding gown, why not an amazing feathered orange dress? These two shifted their plans but kept their goal in mind - to marry each other and I loved that I was able to document this wedding and also eat the meal Gabriela’s parents prepared for all of us.

Alexandra reached out in August to tell me about their wedding they were planning for October - at the time, Moose and Alexandra were living in New York, planning a wedding in Milwaukee and then decided soon after the wedding, they would moved to Austin, TX - needless to say, it’s been a last few months for the two of them. I wanted to lay that all out there to say, it would have been easy to feel overwhelmed and pretty stressed the days leading up to and the day of their wedding but all I saw were smiles, excitement and just pure joy when I was with them - this truly was a joyous day filled with so many friends and family who all traveled to be there to witness these two exchange vows at their interfaith ceremony where a Catholic Priest and an Imam worked together to create such a special ceremony. Alex and Moose, congratulations on your marriage, thank you for inviting me to document and to witness your wedding.

I never know how to express how I feel about weddings in just a few short sentences on my blog because i feel like it's one of those 'you have to be there' sort of things. This one, oh these two, I'm not exaggerating when I tell you that my cry count on this one was high, So many beautiful moments, so many wonderful people, so much support and love with this group of people it was hard to keep it in for me. This wedding was a good one, I had my very best friend all the way from Missoula, Abi of This Is Soul by my side shooting and we had a lovely time documenting the day that John and Katherine got married.
