These two sweethearts first met at work when they took the same temporary job during the pandemic. Even in the midst of uncertainty and stress, you never know what surprises await! God had something special in store for these two wonderful people. 

I first met Grace and Brandon in the spring for their engagement session on a beautiful country farm property. They were a joy to capture and I couldn’t wait to work with them again for their fall wedding. 

There were so many beautiful details and surprises throughout the day including Grace’s sparkly shoes, their unique matching rings, and a very special first look between daddy and daughter – that is, between Brandon and his sweet little girl. It was so fun to watch how excited she was to show off her new dress to him :)

The ceremony took place at St. John Catholic Church, and though I’ve captured various events and portrait sessions there before, it was my first time photographing a wedding at the church. I'm so glad I was able to capture every moment of Grace’s special day both inside and outside of her home parish. 

The reception was held at Father Lynch Hall and this Arizona girl went starry eyed over the Mexican food buffet ;) With lots of food and dancing, it was my kind of party! I loved hearing all the fun and tender stories told through the toasts by friends and family. It was obvious how much this couple is loved by so many. Enjoy scrolling through the highlights from this perfect day and the union of a perfect couple. Congratulations again to Brandon and Grace!
