Willow Haven Romantic Barn Wedding – Shelley & Nathan

Everywhere you looked on Shelley & Nathan’s wedding day you were surrounded by love. You could not only see but also feel the legacy of love that Shelley and Nathan both grew up in and the one that they were creating for their sweet son, Nolan. There were so many little moments throughout the day that were the biggest reflection of who they are and how they love. I remember walking into the grooms getting ready room where I was greeted by Shelley’s dad who asked me how beautiful his baby girl looks because he hadn’t see her yet. Flash forward to their vows when each of their siblings were holding back tears until Nolan yelled out “Hi, Mommy!” and everyone couldn’t help but giggle.

All of these moments came together in the most beautiful way and we got to celebrate the start of Shelley & Nathan’s marriage. The start of a lifetime of laughing, crying, and holding onto to each other through the good and the bad. Their legacy of love is just getting started and I couldn’t be more grateful to be a witness to their first moments as husband & wife.

Shelley & Nathan,

It has been such a blessing to watch you grow into one. From the giggles we shared on your engagement session to seeing just how much Nolan grown at your wedding day, I’ve loved getting to know you and telling your story. I hope that when you look back through these images in the years to come you’re always reminded of how you love each other and the comfort you’d bend over backwards to give each other. I will forever be cheering you on!
