Not me smiling ear to ear as I relive this truly magical, sunshine-filled Chandler Hill wedding day! Brad and Madi are the real deal in every possible way. They are so genuinely kind not just to each other, but to absolutely every person they encounter. Their love and joy was contagious and when I say we had an INCREDIBLE time celebrating their wedding day, I am not kidding! You couldn’t have put a damper on the happiness if you tried!

When you look back on these fresh, brand new moments that tend to blur together in your mind – how sweet it is to remember how tiny and needy and loved your little newborn is. Gracious, these are my favorite.   You can peek into some photo ..read more
