Love is kind, love is patient. But above all else, love is genuine. Shay and Will’s love story dates all the way back to high school, when the two were in English class together. Back then, they were “friends,” but that friendship laid the foundation for what eventually became a romantic relationship later in life. We thoroughly enjoyed photographing Shay and Will on their wedding day, which started out at the majestic Evangel Cathedral for the wedding ceremony and then moved to Martin’s West for the reception festivities, and we were wowed by the positive, bubbly energy that flowed throughout the day. The beaming couple’s matrimonial ceremony was full of so many touching, joy-filled moments that warmed our hearts and took our breath away.
We loved seeing Shay light up as she got ready to put on her incredibly elegant wedding dress. We especially LOVED the see-through, lacy sleeves that gave Shay’s wedding dress an extra touch of class and when she put on the veil, we simply basked in her eminence. That moment was just one of so many that we documented that day, so please go ahead and enjoy this collection of photos from Will and Shay’s splendid wedding below.
