This one is a great story.

This very day last year, Ann + Jackson got married at a church off 280 with 25-30 of their very closest people. It was an intimate ceremony with livestream, FaceTime friends, a car parade and friends who surprised them by showing up with confetti poppers!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
They planned a second, big celebration for October 2020, but unfortunately Jackson tested positive the day before. They were gutted to cancel everything, as one would be!! So I told them that when the time feels right, reach out and schedule a bride + groom session because we only got a couple of portraits on May 23, 2020.

As spring 2021 rolled around and Ann was seeing all these beautiful weddings on social media, it was natural that she felt a lack of closure and was sad that her Dad would never see her in the dress!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So one day, she prayed that the Lord would either help her heart move on or that He would bring some closure for them. THE VERY NEXT DAY, I happened to reach out and check in to see if they wanted to schedule something.

It was nothing of my own doing, which is just another reminder to me that God works through my business to bless people and honour Him!

Ann + Jackson dressed up in their wedding attire and had a first look with her sweet Dad at Botanical Gardens. Then, she changed into a phenomenal silk dress, and we blasted my car speakers for the whole second half of the session with a view of the whole city!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We started with “Coming Home” by Leon Bridges, their first dance song, and the playlist just so perfectly fit the vibe of the session — all the wedding classics like “What A Wonderful World,” “You Are The Best Thing” and “Forever Like That” 😭

Happy anniversary, Ann + Jackson! Love you both so much and thankful for Jesus in you.
