“Barefoot on the grass, listening to our favorite song, when you said you looked a mess, I whispered underneath my breath but you heard it, darling, you look perfect tonight…” Ed Sheeran

Kind, gentle, sweet, loving, all these words and more I would use to describe Marie and Ian. From the moment I met them they have been the perfect example of pure selfless love. On Saturday Zach and I felt like part of the family from the moment we walked through the door! Both of their families are so kind and welcoming so it is easy to see where Ian and Marie get it from! Due to Covid Marie and Ian had to downsize their wedding celebration but there was nothing downsized about the love and the joy everyone had for them on Saturday!

They had a lovely ceremony at Marie and Ian’s church. The live music was so beautiful! Marie is a music teacher so naturally, she picked out beautiful music for her wedding ceremony! Following the ceremony, we explored a few spots at Retzer Nature Center for portraits, and the nature center did not disappoint! We had so much fun finding all the different backgrounds there for pictures!!

The evening ended with the perfect reception in Marie’s parent’s backyard!! I have to say I wish all receptions were outside, the light was unbelievable and the joy of the whole night was just beautiful!

Marie and Ian, I pray God would bless both of you and your family you will build together! It was an honor to capture your wedding day and to be a witness to all the amazing things God has done in your lives! Congratulations!!
