Yesterday was such a special day as Zach and Hannah committed their lived to one another after four beautiful years together. As Hannah’s college roommate, I had the pleasure of getting the witness the beginning of this relationship. And yesterday, I got to document Hannah and Zach become husband and wife.

It was such a joyful day full of happy tears, laughter, and tons of hugs from Hannah and Zach’s closest friends and family. I love that these two didn’t feel bound by tradition but completely made their wedding day their own. They completely transformed their reception space, where I’ve gotten to photograph multiple weddings, to be almost unrecognizable.

I was incredibly impressed with everything that Zach and Hannah’s families did to make their wedding day happen. Hannah’s mom made her wedding gown by hand!! And it was stunning! She also made all of the food. And she, along with Zach’s mom, made all of the flowers and reception decor as well. Hannah’s sister helped to plan their entire day along with Hannah’s mom and she made the cake and deserts for the wedding. Many other family members worked behind the scenes helping to decorate and serve food. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a family do more for a wedding day than Hannah and Zach’s families. And that speaks volumes about how loved these two are by those that surround them as they start their marriage.

Hannah and Zach, it was the hugest honor in the world to get to be your wedding photographer and to get to witness you start the rest of your lives together. Enjoy these sneak peaks as I finish editing the rest of your wedding gallery! I can’t wait to send you your full gallery super soon!
