Morgan and Mark | Irons Mill Wedding » Lavender Leigh Photography

As Morgan’s mother zipped up her wedding dress, I could see happy tears welling up in both of their eyes. Morgan looked absolutely stunning in her wedding dress, and I could see the pride in her mother’s expression as she took a step back to look at her lovely daughter. Fanning her face, Morgan took a deep breath, laughed, and said “I can’t cry, I will ruin my makeup!” To which I jokingly replied “We photographers love capturing emotion! Cry away!”

Morgan’s brother turns to look at me. “Oh honey, this family is full of emotion. Once Morgan steps down the aisle, get ready for a Broadway show!”

And he was right, Morgan and Mark’s wedding day was chock full of emotion. Plenty of happy tears, smiles, laughter and the overall abundance of joy. I can’t really decide what my favorite part of their day was. It may have been the serene prayer that Morgan’s bridesmaids said over her right before the ceremony. Or, the “first touch” moment when Morgan and Mark exchanged vow books in a spot where they couldn’t see one another. As they reached around the corner to hold hands, they couldn’t find the other’s hand, and began grasping air. Which led to both of them laughing out loud, realizing the comedy within a romantic moment.

From fist bumps to hurrahs, Morgan and Mark celebrated each second of their wedding day. You could see how excited they were to finally be Mr. and Mrs. Take a look to see what I mean…
