Sunday, September 9th, 2018, Savannah & Hayden were married at the home where she grew up.  In their backyard was the most beautiful setting for this couple to unite in marriage.  The cross has become a favorite of mine for couples to use at the alter.  To me it's the perfect reminder to keep Christ at the center of their union together as husband and wife.  After much work from their families, their outdoor ceremony was simply gorgeous!  In fact, some of the wooden pews were made from the trees that came from her in-law's property.  Come join me for a walk through their wedding day.

Love, love this picture so much of these two pretty women!  It's a beautiful picture of a mother and her daughter but also, if you know Buffy, you know she is one of the most genuine and kindest ladies you'll ever meet.  Savannah, you hit the jackpot with Buffy being your mom.
