Katie & Brandon's 15 year Vow Renewal

One of our favorite weddings/celebrations from this past year was one that was near and dear to our hearts. It was Katie and Brandon’s 15 year vow renewal. No pressure, they are only two our best friends, accomplished and brilliant weddings photographers and videographers themselves, and did I mention wedding venue owners on top of that? We obviously always try to do our best regardless of who the couple is, but I would be lying if I said there wasn’t a little added pressure. Not from them in any way, just that responsibility you feel to always do your best and the fact that it was two people we love dearly. When they asked us, we didn’t hesitate for a second. Knowing Katie and Brandon as people outside of the wedding industry, we knew this would be a special day. Katie and Brandon are family first type of people and they would do anything for their loved ones. That old saying about taking the shirt off one’s back to help another could not apply more to any two people I know. I know for us personally they’ve come across the country to help us in times of need. They’ve driven states away to help us move. They are always there when we need to bounce an idea off someone, in life or business. They are fiercely loyal and they are the first ones to celebrate your successes when you achieve something. You would be hard pressed to find two people that work harder. Two people that care more, or a sweeter family. We’ve spent holidays with these two, we’ve traveled across the country, and we’ve been blessed to have some ridiculously good times with them over the years. Having renewed our vows at 10 years and knowing that feeling of not only growing as a person, but growing together, we wanted this day to be perfect for Katie and Brandon!

Looking back over their special day, we think it was just that. It was idyllic in every way from the big picture details to the little special ones sprinkled throughout. The florals were perfection, the cake was to die for, but the thing that stood out most was the feeling of the day. Every single one of the vendors was a close friend and between vendors, family, & friends, it was all hands on deck to make sure these two had the most memorable celebration. Like we previously mentioned, the first thing that comes to mind when we think of Katie and Brandon is the word family and we think that will be ever present when you follow along on their special day below. From little moments with their grandson, laughs with mom, to those special moments with their sons, these were the things that made up the essence of their day. Their foundation in love and God has allowed them to build a life that many could only dream of. It’s a journey and story that is to be admired. One that inspires, and certainly one that will leave a legacy on long after they are gone. Cheers to the next 15 years and we hope you all enjoy following along!
