Emily + John | 11.03.2018

It was a crisp, fall morning when I looked outside after a week of predicted rain to see bright blue skies and a light warm breeze rustling the trees. It was perfect. Emily + John are two of the sweetest, most pure hearted people I have met to date. When I met them earlier this summer to say “hello” and get to know each other I just fell in love with them! Emily and I are both talkers. We love to chat, we love to laugh and we instantly meshed. John and Evan are both just observers. Put in their two cents and sly little jokes and continue to let Emily and I talk. I think that is why I enjoy them so much. They remind me of us and seeing them happy is really wonderful!

Saturday was, and could have not been any more perfect for Emily and John. The weather was spot-on, we had the most beautiful light, and as you expected, they were surrounded by their amazing friends and family. Their ceremony was special and sweet, officiated by John’s uncle who spoke true words about marriage and being together. As they walked down the aisle as Mr and Mrs Allred everyone’s cheeks were a little brighter.

Their reception was intimate and sweet. As their friends and family gathered around them as the reception came to a close you could just tell how much everyone loves and admires these two. They put out a lot of goodness in the world & on Saturday they received a lot of it back. I know in my heart these two will spend a lifetime together laughing and enjoying each other, just as God intended. Congratulations Emily + John Allred!! I am wishing you the most joyous life together!

Emily, you made a s t u n n i n g bride!!  This was the best moment to witness. They wrote vows to each other and read them to each other right after their first look – cue the tears!!  Those eyes, Em!!!  I want to be just like Grandma Mary when I grow up!!! She is sweet and sassy!!    I love this moment of Emily + John right after their ceremony!! 

A special thank you to the amazing vendors who helped make this day wonderful!
