Hannah & Brandon | a Spring Lake Wedding

Wedding

Hannah & Brandon are high school sweethearts and started dating 6 1/2 years ago! They met in their high school chemistry class and they obviously had great chemistry (this was a joke made by the grooms best man, Matt) and I thought it was clever. 😉 All jokes aside, I truly believe they do because Brandon and Hannah never stopped smiling and laughting together all day!! PURE BLISS is what I call June 10th, 2017. I am a wedding photographer for blissful hearts and Brandon & Hannah have exactly that! 

I immediately enjoyed getting to know Hannah and Brandon better (along with their families/friends!!). We stayed connected closely immediately after our first meeting and I have loved hearing about their journey to forever! The crazy thing is my husband and I are high school sweethearts as well and went to the same high school as Hannah & Brandon! It gets even better – Hannah and my husband, Brian have the exact same career – CPA Accountants! Let’s just say we definitely had similarities and I just love these two so much!!

This wedding day was the one they had been praying for and waiting on for so many years (obviously 😉 ). I remember talking with Hannah multiple times praying for a golden hour and asking for the most perfect day. You guys, Saturday was stunning and we got exactly what we hoped for! The only unexpected curveball was the fact that we had 30MPH winds that were a little intense at times!  But honestly, it didn’t seem to phase Hannah or Brandon! They were up for anything!! Just look at the images, the sunshine, and joy that fills each and every one!!

Hannah & Brandon, goodness, where to even start! I just have to thank you again for allowing us to be a part of such an important season of your life! Brian and I felt loved from the moment we stepped out of the car,  friends and family members said “Oh you must be Tauri! Hannah has raved about you!”. The fact that your family already knew me was such a gift!! You two are truly something special and we are so excited for you as you start on a brand new journey in your life! Marriage as I’ve told you, is one the best things and I am so excited to watch your love grow!! 

  This is a photo of Hannah’s parents from their wedding day!! LOVE!!!  This is the promise ring Brandon gave Hannah in high school!! I am so obsessed with her ring!! It is PERFECT!  First look with her dad!  Aww!! SO SWEET!  YAY! Now time for the fist look with her soon to be hubby!  Hannah hadn’t seen her band Brandon got her yet!! They saved it for the first look – love this! These smiles seriously never left their faces!!   So handsome Brandon! Laughter is just the best isn’t it?!  My husband captured the below photo! Isn’t he amazing?! Love it!! I love you so much Hannah & Brandon and I hope you have the BEST time on your honeymoon!! I can’t thank you enough for being the greatest <3 xo This is one of my favs of the day!! Kisses for their daughter! SO SWEET! Love this moment!  We had a great day!! Enjoyed hanging out with this AWESOME bridal party! They wrote each other letters on their big day!  As they were announced the newest, Mr. & Mrs! They shared a “second” first kiss as they walked down the isle!! The moments right after the ceremony  have a special place in my heart! It was crazy windy on the beach but that didn’t stop us from getting adorable bride and groom portraits!  The one of the guys below has me already laughing – I asked them for a serious look and all I got was laughter and that is totally fine with me 😉  Hannah, you are SO beautiful!!!  Love this angle my husband got!! They’re SO CUTE!  I just can’t handle how adorable they are!  I adore when my couples display my photos at their weddings!! Such an honor!!  Funny story really quick – the past couple of weeks I had been telling my husband (& my mom) how much I had been craving Strawberry shortcake and the day of Hannah told me their wedding cake was STRAWBERRY SHORTCAKE! It was too funny and yes, it was delicious! 😉 My husband took this photo and immediately showed me and said this is definitely going on the blog 😉 so, here it is!  I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!  So much LOVE! I can’t handle it!!  Two of my #tauribaumbride ‘s!! Love you both! xo  I think this is why golden hours were created right?! To have beautiful glowy bridal portraits 😉  Ended the night on the BEST note!!
