To say that Anna + Tyler’s wedding day was a dream would be an understatement– I just about died and went to Heaven three times over. Every detail was perfect– Anna’s dress, her flower crown, the beer Anna + Tyler brewed for their bridal party to drink as they were getting ready, the special appearance by their pups, their ridiculously-awesome-ridiculously-huge-bridal-party– I could go on forever. Couple that with about a million laughs throughout the day, and I’d say it made for the perfect wedding.

Anna and her family have always had a special, special place in my heart and I love them all dearly. When I first met Tyler, I had a feeling he’d be the one for Anna– they are just too perfect for each other. Photographing their wedding was such an honor and reminded me of just how much I love my job. Seriously. It is the best.

We prayed and prayed all week long that the weather would hold out for Saturday, as the forecast called for scattered thunderstorms. On Friday night, Anna’s family finally made a judgement call to keep the reception outside, and I am SO GLAD they did. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect.

A bell banner led the way for Anna + Tyler’s bridal party to enter the ceremony, and that was just the start of water works in the sanctuary. A dear friend read a letter that Anna’s grandfather had written her grandmother just a week prior to their own wedding, and even the toughest of the tough choked up as she read it. Anna + Tyler sealed the deal with a kiss and a thumbs up, in true #TYNA form.

The reception started off with one of the most beautiful sunsets I’ve ever seen and was followed by some serious dancing + delicious eats (Anna + Tyler’s family members made a host of homemade cakes for guests to enjoy) underneath stringed lights.

Anna + Tyler, I love y’all. Cheers to a lifetime of bliss!
