I woke up early on a Wednesday morning in June and was working as normal. I was talking to Jona with Forever Photography on the phone and she suddenly received an email saying that Barr Mansion had been struck by lightning and their beautiful Artisan Ballroom had burned to the ground. I couldn’t believe it! Candace & Michael’s wedding was scheduled there just three days later. I felt so bad for everyone. Candace called me a few minutes later saying she had been crying all morning. We both desperately tried to find a new venue that was available on such late notice. In the end Candace & Michael decided to just stay with the Barr Mansion. They did such a great job setting everything up and making Candace & Michael’s wedding still unbelievably beautiful.

I’m in love with these shoes. Who can go wrong with Christian Louboutin glitter pumps?!

The first glance. The groomsmen snuck outside with us and took pictures.

They did a butterfly release which was one of the coolest things I’ve seen.

This butterfly landed on Candace’s bouquet and stayed there the whole way down the aisle.
