Have you ever seen the movie "Father of the Bride"?
THIS is THAT...only better!! This was real life. Real tears. And a real pucker.
Meet Miss Courtney...whom I have the honor of photographing at her wedding in October. Courtney and her family are dear, dear friends of our family.
Courtney's wedding shower was a couple of weeks ago. The mother-of-the-bride is the Queen of all Details. These were the napkin rings with the bride and grooms initials at each place setting.
The Italian husband-to-be had to have a special detail too!
Hello delicious martini!
But the moment of all moments was when Courtney opened a gift from her dad. She opened the card and started to read...
The rest is just beautiful.
The pucker
The tears
The shoes
The note
Oh lordy. I cry every stinkin time I read that!? The shoes were beautiful. The inside sole was embroidered with her name and wedding date.
The mom is in the background watching this beautiful story unfold. There is A LOT of love in this family. They give unconditionally to those around them. And those around them are forever touched by the love that they exude. They love with their whole hearts and witnessing it filled the entire room with love...and tears!
So thank you, Susie, Gary and Courtney. I went to the shower as a guest, but ended up documenting one of my most favorite moments ever!
I loved your photos and your blog... I was there and cried as I witnessed this special moment and again as I read your blog. You captured it perfectly.
