I have never been more humbled to capture a wedding for someone than I was for Colleen and Richie. It all started last Thursday when Colleen emailed to see if we could change our plans for the day a little bit. Colleen’s mom was in the hospital and had been so for quite some time. They had thought that she may have been released before the wedding but unfortunately that was not to be. So Colleen arranged with her officiant to perform the ceremony at the hospital before conducting the previously scheduled ceremony at the Civic Club. So we arrived at the Civic Club where Colleen and her girls were getting ready. Colleen looked SO beautiful even before her make-up was on. Once she was dressed, we arranged for her to meet Richie on the porch of the Civic Club for their first glance. After a quick moment or two, we were all off to Holy Spirit to see Colleen’s mom. When we arrived, Colleen couldn’t wait to go upstairs and see her mom. The moments that we captured during that time were like no other that I’ve ever experience before on a wedding day. Then it was time for everyone to come up for the ceremony. The ceremony couldn’t happen in the hospital room due to restrictions so it happened in the hallway. After the emotional ceremony, we traveled back to the Civic Club for the second ceremony and reception. Colleen and Richie had planned a Starbucks/travel-themed wedding and it was SO awesome.
We were so completely honored to have been part of this day.

The girls were getting ready upstairs while the guys were hanging out downstairs. We spent time with both groups before the ceremony, getting to know them all a little bit better. After the ceremony, everyone headed to the
