She had meticulously planned out every last detail, complete with a spreadsheet timeline, homemade chalkboard signs, and comfy, sparkly shoes to go with her gorgeous wedding dress. And now that the day was finally here, April sat cheerfully getting her hair done. She also couldn’t help but double check that her bridal party had something to eat and drink, or jump up to give another friend a hug, or make sure that everyone had what they needed. Because April is the type of person who cares so much about the people in her life that even on her big day, even as a bride, she wanted to make sure everyone around her was happy.
And Jeremy complements April perfectly. His quiet and kind disposition allows her bubbly personality to shine. When she is busy making sure everyone else is happy, he is there to make sure that she is happy. It’s what makes them so truly beautiful together. She’s the jelly to his peanut butter and he’s the macaroni to her cheese. Basically, these two couldn’t be any more utterly and completely meant for each other.
This? This is what family and friends came to celebrate on that lovely September day. This is what was cheered to, hugged to, toasted to, and definitely danced to as the sky faded into night. And this? This is the stuff weddings are made of. Because even though April and Jeremy did a gorgeous a job planning a stunning wedding full of personal touches, it was their joy and love that made the day so special. Their joy and love that made it one magnificent day to remember…
Married: April + Jeremy
I need to start by saying how much I absolutely adore these two!! They are seriously one of the most kind hearted couples I’ve been blessed to work with and call my friends. I was one of those people that April made sure had plenty of food and was taken care of during the day :) She even had gluten free cupcakes at the reception!! They also gave me SO much time for photos, it was basically a photographer’s dream wedding! April really did have a spreadsheet timeline to keep us on track, it was awesome. I had a very hard time narrowing down the photos for this post! But I will just say that it was truly an amazing day. And hopefully the photos will speak for themselves :) April and Jeremy, what can I say? You guys are so wonderful, and it was SUCH an honor to witness your love and document your wedding! May your lives always be filled with the joy and bliss you felt on this beautiful day :) Much love!!! XO

These pictures are absolutely amazing. Carissa, you are blessed as a photographer. As I was reading the story you wrote about April and Jeremy, there were tears streaming down my cheeks on my lunch break. I cannot express how you totally capture April and Jeremy’s love for each other. And you are right, April took care of everyone. Her fun expressions and Jeremy’s quietness make a perfect match.
