hannah + john – you two are something else!!! we loved being a part of your intimate and romantic beach wedding! it was SO fun celebrating what is most important to you. what a ridiculously sweet and intentional day!!! surrounded by your closest friends + family and we were SO honored to be one of the few people there… so freaking special! WE ARE VERY VERY VERY HAPPPPPYYYY for y’all!!! (if you couldn’t tell!)

from the start, hannah + john knew that they wanted their wedding day to feel easy and relaxed. so, they planned a beautifully intimate ceremony right on the beach access near their family’s cottage and had an intimate dinner post-ceremony underneath the house. inspired by the ocean, there were shells, starfish, and driftwood everywhere you looked. hannah + john spent the day surrounded by their closest people and it was just a gorgeous day. nothing felt rushed or over the top – and I think this private beach cottage wedding was all exactly what hannah + john were hoping for.

a little reminder…

aside from the wedding, hannah taught me something important this weekend. the night before the wedding, she took her dog for a walk and fell. she told me that she didn’t want any scars removed from her photos. now, hannah was only talking about the scars she got from taking her dog on a walk… but i walked away being reminded that trying to rewrite my story to be a little less painful doesn’t actually take away the scars… i love her story – her scars and that she didn’t want me to remove them… and i hope her message settles on your heart in such a beautiful way too… just like it did mine.
