QUINCY NAVY BLUSH AND CREAM VINTAGE FALL WEDDING Morgan+Nathan | Married

morgannathan-day-of-slideshow_0134

The church was packed.  I don’t mean full like most of the pews had people in them…I mean full like there were extra rows of chairs to the very back wall of the church, with every single possible seat full, and a couple standing in the back.  Squished together, and happy for it because of what was to come.  Happy for it because everyone was there for one reason: to support Morgan and Nathan.  Morgan, who they had watched grow up from a little girl twirling in dresses to a beautiful woman using her life to help others.  Nathan, who has always been a friend to everyone he meets, kind and interested in other’s lives.  People who have only known them together, including a friend from London that they had only met one time but found them important enough to travel so far for.  These two found each other in a word of possibilities, and there was no wonder if they would ever be apart again, and the small church was packed with people who believe in their future.

This was our last of 19 weddings in 2016.  19 is more than we ever dreamed of taking on in a year, but we wouldn’t change a thing (and will do a few more than that next year). And this was the way to end the season for sure!  You already know from that very first picture- but this wedding spoke to my style and heart so much! There was just so much blush and navy and vintage and lace beauty.

But Morgan and Nathan stole my heart long before their beautiful wedding day, styled absolutely perfectly. Even before Morgan was a bridesmaid in another favorite wedding of the year a few weeks ago. They stole my heart in the first moments I met them, at one of my all time favorite engagement sessions out on our farm.  They are beautiful together in every single way.  And every single person in that church knows it.  I loved this day, and I love this couple!

You're in the right place!  As a past high school teacher, educating others is my life's work and a HUGE part of my business!  I have been teaching moms and hobbyists how to use their camera from first purchasing it all the way to coaching them into businesses of their own, and I'd love to help you as well, wherever you are (and whatever camera you have!).

I'm so glad you are here!  Teaching Photographers and other small business owners how to run more joyful, successful, and profitable businesses is one of my favorite parts of my business!  I specialize in working with photographers to make their goals a reality (or figure out what their goals should be in the first place!).
