I thought this wedding would be really sad, but it was one of the sweetest, most heart-felt ceremonies I've ever witnessed. The bride and groom were PERFECT for each other. They were an amazing couple. The groom has a 4 year old daughter who was involved during the entire ceremony. The bride (her new step-mother) even recited vows to the little girl to love her, teach her right from wrong, be the best parent she could be for her, and so on. Then she gave her a bracelet as a sign of the commitment. The pastor then asked the little girl if she accepted the bride as her new mommy and she enthusiastically said "I DO!" It was such a sweet moment. The bride and groom both cried.

After the ceremony, the bride, groom, and daughter walked down the aisle together. I rushed from the balcony to be able to get a shot of them going through the sanctuary door and to catch the tender moments in the hall. They bride grabbed the groom's hand and said "Savannah looks absolutely beautiful tonight." He looked her straight in the eyes and said, "You both do." I had to hold back tears.

I'm sad that they'll be losing the groom's mother soon, but they seem to have accepted it and were just happy that she got to see them get married. I can't wait to shoot their next ceremony with all their friends.
