Natalie & Brent
One thing a girl remembers about her wedding is having all the people she loves around her. It could be while walking down the aisle, during a dance or a toast or a hug - the details don’t really matter. It’s that those she cares for are there to witness the celebration.
For Natalie & Brent, these memories could have been really different. They were in the process of planning their wedding for next summer but Natalie’s dad, Robert was sick. When news came that Robert’s illness had worsened, no one hesitated. Their families came together. Four days later, Natalie’s dad walked her through his backyard, down a path of sprinkled flowers, towards her new husband.
Instead of a rushed or stressful or sad occasion, their wedding was simple and full of sweetness. No one’s thoughts were on the fact that Robert wouldn’t be there in the future because he was there now and he’d be part of the memory forever. It was beautiful to photograph a family like that… it knocked me flat in the best kind of way.
Natalie & Brent, thank you for having me there that day. You have the sweetest family with the biggest of hearts.
