This last weekend I had the pleasure and challenge of photographing one of the most emotional days I have ever been a part of. Laura and Bryan had already had an awesome engagement session with me the beginning of this year in January. Leading up to their wedding, everything was running according to plan. Then out of nowhere, Laura was the victim of an unprovoked brutal assault just a few blocks from her home just days before her wedding. She suffered multiple injuries including a broken nose and lacerations. Could you imagine this happening to you just days before your wedding? Most brides would have probably thrown in the towel, but not Laura. After a few emergency surgeries, she pressed forward and would not let this ruin her day. With the awesome help from Kari Spalinger Henrichsen of Kari Addison Styling and Elyssa Lee of Elyssa Lee Loves Styling they made sure Laura was ready and that she wasn’t going to have a worry in the world on her wedding day. Those girls made my life easier as I was able to capture great images from their day and it shows. Laura is a very relaxed and easy going spirit who is a joy to be around. Her confidence was up and nothing was going to put a damper on her wedding day. I would personally like to thank all those who contributed to this day in making sure Laura & Bryan’s wedding was a success. On a side note, their cake & dessert table was something to be seen (check out the photos, almost deserves a whole separate blog post)! Supplied by Deirdre Carew Fayfield, it looked marvelous and tasted as good if not better than it looks. Big thanks also to Harmony Hildebrand who was 2nd camera on this shoot. Congratulations Laura & Bryan!
