When Taylor first emailed me about photographing her and Chad’s wedding, she wrote me the sweetest note saying, “Our love is a classic one,” and I couldn’t agree more. These two are the definition of classic elegance. I mean, look at Taylor’s dress!! I LOVE when my brides wear long gowns to their engagement sessions! Not only is dressing up super fun for my couples, but I feel like it just takes the photos to another LEVEL and adds some serious style to the session. You can always have a friend snap a photo of you in cute, casual clothes on your iPhone anytime you want, but I always recommend my couples take advantage of having professional portraits taken and get glammed up for them since it doesn’t happen very often! Taylor’s off-the-shoulder trumpet dress was stunning on her and I loved that it had a train!
And Chad, he’s a true romantic at heart. When he prosed to Taylor, he didn’t just do it any ordinary way, he did it in lights! He worked with the local theater to change their marquee to say, “Will you be my forever and always?” and he got down on one knee the moment Taylor saw it. These two love winter (their first date was ice skating at Campus Martius) and I cannot wait to photograph their winter wedding next December at Lovett Hall!
