Let me start by saying this couple has an extra special meaning to me because I not only went to high school with Grant (and we were always close friends) but I also was honored to capture their proposal, engagement session, and now their absolutely PERFECT day! When I met Margo, I instantly connected with her. We always laugh so hard together, and she is someone you can’t help but love! She loves the Lord, cares deeply for people, and is definitely the definition of a #tauribaumbride!

I keep saying July 8th was SO great because it was! Grant’s face filled with happy tears when he saw his bride for the first time says it all. As well as, all of the emotions Margo had walking down the isle to say “I do”. They have been waiting for this day for a while and it was obvious how much they truly love each other. From the sweet expressions of Margo during the ceremony to the way Grant held his new wife. They truly have an inspiring love.

One of my favorite emotions to capture is joy and laughter and you know what, Margo and Grant made it SO easy. It seriously made my little photographer heart skip some beats. Combine one amazing couple with a beautiful day and a super fun wedding party, and you’ve got all the ingredients for an incredible day Grant and Margo (or Brian & I) will never forget.

Margo & Grant – You two spoiled Brian and I and we are forever thankful for such sweet friends like you. You two are each other’s perfect compliment, and we know you guys will have so many years of happy, joyful marriage! We are so thankful we were the one there capturing all of your BLISS! Can’t wait to watch your marriage grow! Enjoy a preview of your big day! xo
