I’m not sure another day of the year was filled with more (happy) emotion than on August 25, 2018. I arrived earlier than I was scheduled to and was very happily greeted in the bridal suite where the girls were beginning their hair and makeup for the day. As I was scouting around Stoltzfus Homestead, I could just sense it all over that it was going to be a g.o.o.d day. Have you ever just “felt” how your day was going to go?? Yeah – just like that!

One of my favorite things about Blake and Mariah is how they are so intentional with their time when they’re together or with friends and family. They’re the kind that leans in a little harder and smiles a little bigger, hugs a little tighter and makes you feel so loved. Of course I have to mention their multiple first looks and how I loved that they chose to share individual time on their wedding day with each other (duh), her father and her bridesmaids <3

Blake + Mariah – I feel like I can’t wrap my head around the fact that your wedding day has already passed. We’ve counted down the days since your first inquiry email and now here you are, a married couple. I’m so grateful for the opportunity to have walked along side of you during this exciting journey and I cannot wait to see how the Lord uses your marriage, now and in the future. You guys are awesome!! Xo!
