We were welcomed in the door by bright smiles, handshakes, hugs, and the cutest little 3 month old nephew-of-the-bride there ever was.  Molly’s house was filled with bustle and activity as the close bridal party and moms got ready while taking moments to snuggle and play with the sweet baby boy so dear to them all.  Everyone was calm and happy, and it was just such a beautiful way to start the morning of their wedding day.  My fabulous assistant Sarah second shot with me and from that moment we were welcomed in, we just had such a fun day with this group.  Everything was beautiful, put together, and polished for their wedding, yet full of so much heart and warmth and sweetness, and I think that’s because that echoes Molly and Patrick pretty closely.

Their Preist, who worked closely with them in college, talked at length about the servant’s heart that each of them possess for each other, sharing different stories from their college days of how they chose to love and serve each other and those around them.  I loved hearing these bits and pieces about their story that I hadn’t heard before, and how it all weaved together to get us to their wedding day.  It was truly a beautiful day inside and out, just like them.
You can’t see it here, but this sweet puppy was sporting a bowtie! Love these!  Molly, you are so loved! Molly’s darling nephew!! So much joy and excitement on these faces! Molly’s bouquet had lace from her mother’s dress in it, and I had never seen that before! It was so special! And her grandmother’s wrapped around the stems! Loved this little early sunset round– clouds were rolling in so we grabbed what we could! I just ADORE this #jillgumbride! Molly and Patrick, I am SO happy for you and hope these favorites help you relive this most happy day!
