“You don’t ever have to leave
If to change is what you need
You can change right next to me
When you’re high, I’ll take the lows
You can ebb and I can flow
And we’ll take it slow
And grow as we go”
— "Grow As We Go" by Ben Platt

Mr. & Mrs.

To the start of a new chapter.

My baby sister and her now husband tied the knot last year on May 20th at their dream spot with friends and family. I had the honor of capturing their day as they made memories together for the first time as a married couple, and these cuties sure knew how to throw a laid back and lovely wedding.

They’re finally up on the blog and I’m excited for you to see their big day!

Mary & Shane | Glamorous West Virginia Wedding

Shane and Mary are dear friends of mine and my husband’s from college and when they asked me to take their engagement photos I was stoked. And then they asked me to do their wedding photos and I couldn’t have been more thrilled to help capture their day.

And what a beautiful day it was.

Equally as elegant as it was fun-loving, laughter and smiles were practically bursting at every corner.

With a traditional ceremony lightly tailored with their own personal touches, Shane and Mary were married at Mary’s family’s church in the presence of their loved ones. After vows and hugs and photos, the couple ran with an impulse and stole away to McDonald’s for a breather and a burger between festivities. (Sorry, Moms, it was crucial. We promise…)

After their brief retreat, we arrived at the reception held at the Edgeworth Club where friends and family relaxed in between photos and dinner.

Midway through the reception Shane shared a gift with Mary that he’d been working on as a surprise—an original electronic music piece that or may not have rocked some floorboards lose with the bass levels…in spite of the minor earthquake, the song was a hit and brought smiles to every face, none more so than Mary and Shane as they looked forward to the rest of their time together in the many years to come.

In a flurry of toasts and cheers, music and dancing, the night wiled itself away into a sleepy haze of a dream as everyone wandered to their beds after a joyous day of love and celebration.
