As a wedding photographers, we get to witness so much love – and the honor does not escape us! Alaina & Blake were absolutely beaming with love. After their wedding, they said their advice to future couples is “to stop and reflect how you are feeling”. They said to pause at least 3 or 4 times throughout the day. Stop, look around, admire everything happening, and just feel the immense joy you both deserve. And to let your loved ones show up for you!

We witnessed both Alaina & Blake doing this multiple times. Check out Blake’s pictures as he lovingly watches Alaina dance with her father. They took their own advice. Every glance, every laugh, every quiet moment they shared was pure magic. You could just see them embracing every second, surrounded by so much warmth and happiness.

One moment that absolutely stole the show was when their sweet dog, Charlie, made his grand entrance as the ring bearer. Of course, Charlie had to stop and say hi to a few people in the aisle but he eventually made it to his mom and dad who were so happy to see him!

Congratulations Alaina & Blake!
