I love Joe & Taylor. They are both the kind of people that make it easy to become instantly comfortable around. They are so kind and thoughtful. I am always so happy when people like that find each other so they can preserve and grow that kindness in one another. The world has gone crazy but once you get off the internet and realize people like them are still around, it makes everything ok!

Needless to say I had an amazing time with them. When I can be this comfortable with my couples I feel like I do my best work and capture them just being them! There was so many great and happy moments in this day, I am really proud that I was able to document it the way I did.

I will say it was a little weird having only like 12 people in a big Catholic church but it still carried all the emotion of a bigger wedding in my opinion. I think this whole mini-wedding thing is so great. I hope it is still a thing even after life goes back to normal.

When we got to the reception I was kind of blown away with how it all looked! Big shout out to Lauren Koster on that front! I’ve never seen the woods look so classy! Joe and Taylor just rented this huge house in Battle Creek which I thought was so smart! It looked so nice and I bet they saved so much money over a traditional venue.

Anyway, thanks again guys. It was a special wedding for me that I will be sharing for a long time!
