This is really happening. Wait. Is this really happening? Is she coming? This is taking forever. I can’t believe–wait–is my tie straight. Yes. Ok good. Yes it’s straight. I can’t believe this day is finally here. Stay strong. Stay strong.
He looks amazing. Is this real life? This is exactly how I imagined it. I can’t breathe. I think I’m too excited. Is that even possible? Keep walking. Keep walking. He’s thinks he knows what the dress looks like but he has no idea! Here we go.
We know from experience that some crazy thoughts go through your mind on a wedding day, especially right before your first look. It’s hard to believe that it’s actually happening. You plan for so long for this one day. For this one moment when you see your soon-to-be husband or wife for the first time. And then it’s gone. But there’s nothing quite like seeing that look on your groom’s face as he sees you in your dress for the first time. That’s why we soooo love first looks! We set up a special, private moment for you two to see each other and share a few minutes taking in all of what is about to happen. We know from personal experience how amazing that moment can be.
Tyler & Amy’s first look was one of many highlights from their wedding day. The emotion on their faces was priceless. It’s a memory captured in time that they will cherish forever! You have to see it!
Tyler & Amy have a special place in our hearts. We love them like crazy! We have had an amazing time getting to know them (and their cute dog, Axle!) in the last year. We had been looking forward to this day for a long time and we had a figurative AND literal blast on their 4th of July wedding! We felt like family from the moment we walked through the doors to the Old Cigar Warehouse.
Quick bunny trail: Tyler & Amy have had multiple conversations with us that have had something to do with GiGi’s Cupcakes, one of the finest cupcake creations you will EVER consume. They had GiGi’s cupcakes as their wedding cake and they know how much we love GiGi’s cupcakes too! So, Tyler & Amy did something SUPER sweet for us right when we walked in the door that totally made us feel welcome. They gave us a gift card to GiGi’s! Oh my goodness! #cupcakesfordays! Tyler & Amy, you guys are amazing. Thank you so much for thinking of US on your wedding day! We were floored!
Amy’s bridesmaids were her sisters and Tyler’s groomsmen were his brothers which we really loved! We could feel the family love throughout the whole day. And things could not have gone any more smoothly from beginning to end. We even finished off the night with a bang as we all went out on the deck and watched the fireworks show in downtown Greenville! We were so blessed to have Tyler & Amy as an #racouple and we are privileged to call them our friends. Tyler & Amy, we wish you the very best! We love you guys (and Axle too!) and we can’t to see you again soon! Enjoy this little story of your day as told through our lenses.
