Tears, Joy, and Lots of Rain


Charis and Gabe's day is one I will never forget. It was the kind of wedding that sticks with you and not just because it was far from typical. It stuck with me because God's presence was there, covering everyone and everything. Family, friends, and friends that feel like family were all there from far and wide out of their great love for this couple. Even though the rain poured and plans changed, we barely noticed because there was far too much joy to be upset about it. Perfection seems silly when there's genuine laughter, tears, and conversation happening all around you. Charis and Gabe didn't have a care in the world, because they were married and that was enough. I captured, I felt, and I cherished every moment.
