First, sweet Hailey. She is not just a JA bride to me but a dear friend too. She also loves the Lord with her whole heart and I have no doubt she will spend every single day glorifying Him in her marriage. She also designed her entire wedding day by herself and it was perfect! From the florals, to the reception decor, and every last detail – she really made this wedding her own. It’s wasn’t just any DIY wedding either – it looked professionally done! I’m so proud that she not only did all of this planning on her own but still held true that the most important thing to her on her wedding day was marrying Joe.

Speaking of Joe, he is HILARIOUS! Their marriage is going to be filled with so much laughter just like their wedding day was. Joe’s family is also from the great state of Louisiana just like Hunter & I. His family is actually from the same town Hunter grew up in – Pearl River. If you’re not familiar with this little town no worries, just let me explain. Basically there are around 5 main families and at some point or another everyone has married someone else in one of the main families. Where I’m going with this is at some point down the line I have no doubt that Joe & Hunter are related! Which makes him my cousin, and his family loved that! By the end of the night everyone on his side was calling me “cuz”, and I loved every second of it. Really though, Joe’s parents did know Hunter’s grandparents so it was fun to get talk to people who knew of my family all the way up in Kentucky!

Hailey & Joe, thank you so much for not just letting me photograph the most important day of your life but treating me like family too. I love you guys and I am so excited to see what future blessings your marriage will bring!
