Oh there are SO many things that were beautiful about this wedding day that it's hard to know where to begin! Brian and Liz are absolutely surrounded by people who love them, both individually and as a couple. These high school sweethearts have been dating for 8 years and have a quiet, mature confidence in who they are together. It was an honor to witness both the wedding ceremony, which celebrated the true meaning of marriage, and the rest of the day as they finally became husband and wife.

Two years ago Liz lost her father at much too young of an age. She honored her father in so many ways, including a special bracelet with his signature on it (scroll down to see it!). Throughout the day the mother-daughter bond she shares with her mom radiated through, from laughing together while getting ready to the moment Liz walked down the aisle. I'll never forget her brother's speech at the reception as he spoke so highly of Brian and ended with, "In 2014 we lost a great man and in 2016 our family gained a great man." Tears flowed and hugs were shared as the family both remembered what was and looked forward to the future.
