Kerry was nervous. Butterflies in her stomach, anxious energy, type of nervous. The day she’d been counting down to for so long had finally arrived! And Jonathan was just the same when we saw him an hour before the ceremony. Nervous. Excited. Ready. The morning stretched on up until a sweet moment for a prayer together before the ceremony. On either side of a door, they offered up praise to God for bringing them to this point. Kerry clutched the new bible engraved with her new name that her almost husband gifted her and shut her eyes tight, because this was the moment she’d prayed for for so long.

The ceremony started with a video of their stories both separately and together. They shared how they’d been changed by grace and how their love story had been knit together by God. As Kerry walked down the aisle, sniffles could be heard throughout the sanctuary. Jonathan held back tears as his bride walked towards him. Their pastor told sweet stories about their relationship and Kerry and her maid of honor exchanged glances he hit on some of the funny moments :] Jonathan and Kerry shared their first real kiss after saying “I do.”

There was such unashamed joy on their wedding day. Jonathan had made sure this would be a perfect day for his princess, complete with a horse and carriage getaway! They rode off into the sparkler filled sunset, Ireland and adventure bound, hand in hand.

Jonathan and Kerry are two of the most genuine people imaginable. So sweet, so caring, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled to be a part of their day!

Kerry was overcome with emotion when she stepped into her dress! So gorgeous!

Loved these ladies! What a fun group of bridesmaids :]

Love this.
