What memory stands out most to you from your wedding day? Has to be the dance floor! Since we eloped in 2020, this celebration was ultimately for our friends and family, so being able to dance and have fun with each of them all night long was the highlight of that day for me.

Advice for future couples? For wedding day - focus on the two of you, and the rest will fall into place! For marriage - Celebrate the little things! No need to wait for an anniversary, birthday, promotion - go on a fancy date on a random Wednesday just because.

How was your experience with me? We LOVE April! Not only her ability to capture two people who have no idea what they are doing in front of a camera, but because of who she is and the joy she brings to those special moments!

Your wedding is YOUR day. Surround yourself with people who make you feel happy and brings you joy. This is the one day of your life that you and your future partner get to create your vision of what you want your life to look like in the future. It truly is the start of the rest of your lives. Choose what is important to you and focus on it, don’t make decisions to make other people happy. If they love you, on your day, what makes you happy will make them happy.

Do not sweat the small stuff. Things will go wrong, things may not be exactly what you pictured. But if you focus on every person who CHOSE to celebrate with you and surround you with love it doesn’t matter what happens, it will be your best day.

Support Small Businesses. The best decision I made was choosing small (mostly women owned) businesses as vendors. THEY CARE about YOU!! And will do everything to make your day so so special.

We had a pretty unconventional beginning because we actually had to do IVF to have Miles. I feel like since getting pregnant with him was so hard, that the universe repaid me by a fairly easy pregnancy. In all honesty, I’ve never loved anything more than being pregnant. I loved watching my body change and grow because it meant he was growing and healthy. Having pictures that captured that moment in my life brings me to tears…it was such a hard journey to get to that point, and now look! April made me feel confident and beautiful, and I still find myself looking through all the photos from our shoot when this tiny human was growing inside me. It made me feel magical.

I think my advice to other mamas-to-be would be to just embrace the changes. No, your feet swelling to where you can only wear three pairs of shoes is not fun, but the end result is so worth it. Drink allll the water, and take as many naps as humanly possible while you can.

Our pictures with April were AMAZING, honestly better than I could have asked for. She posed us perfectly, helped with little tweaks like tilting faces and where to put our hands, but also made them so fun. My husband even got in the car after and raved about how easy/fun you made the whole experience. She made me feel confident and beautiful, even while swatting away bugs, naked in a field lol.

What stands out most in my memory, other than getting married to Turner, is probably the weather! The whole day was such a whirlwind, details do not stand out, but I do remember at the reception everyone immediately being outside on the patio enjoying one of the first warm days of the summer.

Turner's memory: we got stuck in some traffic on our way back to the condo after the wedding because it was Memorial Day weekend. I just kept looking over and could not believe I got to marry this woman. She is so beautiful.

Advice to future couples: to keep the main thing the main thing. The purpose of the day is to get married to your significant other. everything else is secondary. It is so easy to get overwhelmed and drown in the details with worry about having the "perfect" day. But the day is not perfect because of the flowers, the cake, or napkins. it is perfect because you are marrying the love of your life surrounded by family and friends.

Our experience with April: Because I didn't have a bridal party, she filled that role in some ways by guiding us and making us laugh, and some ways it felt like Turner and I were alone and she was just capturing us interacting. I appreciated her vision and ability to think on her feet! Although she had never been to Big Cedar and we were constricted on time, she saw beauty in property wherever we were and able to capture our day perfectly.

What memory stands out most to you from your wedding day?

Oh gosh, the whole day feels like a euphoric blur! But the moment that stands out the most was walking down the aisle and seeing everyone there for the first time. I had been in hiding all day so I hadn’t gotten the chance to say hi to anyone and just remember giving little waves to everyone. & then locking eyes with Brendan and grinning, feeling all the butterflies🦋

Advice for future couples?

Don’t sweat the small stuff, and don’t be afraid to break traditional norms. It’s about YOU AND YOUR PARTNER. Do it your way. Splurge on the things that are important to you and cut costs on things you don’t care about. I rented my florals and centerpieces and regret nothing.

How was your experience with April?

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! April is so chill and yet so focused! The months leading up to the wedding, she always responded very quickly whenever we had questions. The day of, she made us feel so comfortable and then stepped right in when I needed her. She was super supportive and helpful in every possible way. Definitely helped us stay on track and stay true to the timeline. Once we received our pictures, she took the time to video chat with us so she could share with us the magic that she had captured. I love that she caught moments I wasn’t even aware of, and the editing was phenomenal.
