I couldn’t be more excited about this sneak peek!!! Cj & Brian thank you so much for having us out to shoot your wedding. Your whole day was perfect. 🙂 However, if I had to pick just 5 of the top moments throughout your day… here it is!

#5. Bella. (I’m 80% sure that was the cat’s name?) As soon as we arrived, Bella lazily looked over at us totally uninterested. That is until we came into the house and started taking photos of Cj. THEN she came right over to me, begging to have her photo taken. Super cute. 🙂

#4. Halfway through the wedding ceremony, we got to the vows. These are always my favorite, but then something weird happened! Their track coach, who was marrying them said, “Sydney & Brian…”

Had he just gotten the brides name wrong?

“… You know it’s getting serious when you use legal names.” All the guests laughed. It was a genuine moment and one I won’t soon forget. 🙂

#3. This. Was. Awesome. Once we arrived at Abbey Farms, everyone scattered to do various things. That is until the couple pulled us and the bridal party outdoors. That’s when Brian & Cj broke out a cooler and iced their whole bridal party! You can scroll to check it out. 😉

#2. Sunset photos. What more can I say? This is always a favorite part of the day for me and the Abbey Farms grounds were perfect. 🙂 I love the shots that we were able to get, especially in the tree farm!

#1. This was an easy one. From getting ready in the morning to speeches during the reception, it was obvious how important family and friends are to Cj & Brian. Especially family! It’s something important to me and something I loved getting to see with this sweet couple.

Cj & Brian, grab a blanket and snuggle up. 🙂 Your sneak peek is live!
