I couldn’t get over how precious her Southern accent was. We’d been chatting about 20 minutes over the phone and I was already obsessed with Lisa and her Wedding. I could tell instantly that she was an amazing woman. Kind, sweet, precious. When we hung up I wanted to literally reach through the phone and hug her neck. I adored her even more when I finally got to meet Chris at their engagement session. There love was so strong, and so pure. It was fantastic to photograph. I just couldn’t wait to photograph their wedding day. A week before their wedding day I was checking email when a news alert popped up “Tornadoes tear through Tuscaloosa”. Then photo after photo of a ravaged town. I was so worried, for all those people affected in Tuscaloosa, but mostly because my precious Lisa and Chris lived there. Its a week until there wedding!! Are they okay? Were they hurt? I was horribly worried until I saw a status update from Lisa, reporting they were okay. I have never breathed such a sigh of relief. They were safe and sound. Shaken, but fine. One of Lisa’s bridesmaids had her dress at an alterations place in town that was destroyed. Bella Bridesmaid, my favorite place in the entire world for Bridesmaids dresses, offered to replace and alter the dress, free of charge. Needless to say when it came time for their wedding the only thing they wanted to do was become one. To join their love together, in front of family and friends that meant so much to them. All the fuss that comes with weddings was the last thing on their mind. This wedding was sweet, Southern, and full of everything that matters on a Wedding day. Faith, Love, and Family. Lisa and Chris, I am so thankful for you, and thankful that you allowed me to share in your beautiful wedding. <3 Ya’ll!
Have you ever seen more beautiful Sisters!
