Stratton Hall Wedding | Takira + Sidney

Their wedding day had finally arrived. As I quietly picked up my camera Takira was nervously fidgeting with her hair while her bridesmaids slipped her into her whimsical ball gown.

Ashley + Jace | Wedding

“I can’t wait to see him.” Ashley’s eyes gleamed as she asked about her groom Jace. Her mom and bridesmaids were busy with her final touch ups and she nervously played with her hair while fidgeting with her bouquet. I smiled at the excitement she felt.
