Their wedding day, like many, was completely full of friends, family and all sorts of heaps of love. Mary and Josh’s day was also ridiculously full of joking, laughter and at times complete hilarity. And that couldn’t possibly fit Mary and Josh better. I was thrilled to be joined in shooting their wedding by the amazing Sarah Karnas – such a pleasure to have her with me. Both bride and groom are music educators, and know all sorts of musicians around town. Their wedding had the most amazing 20-piece brass ensemble, all sorts of advanced music degrees in that crowd, playing the most gorgeous music. Definitely not something I’m guessing I’ll see at a wedding again any time soon (though, feel free to prove me wrong!). All sorts of instruments made their way across so many parts of the wedding – it was pretty dang fantastic.

Mary and Josh two knew each other as acquaintances and then friends long before they got together, and were together long before Josh popped the big question. To nearly anyone on the outside, it was just a matter of time – Mary and Josh fit and work together just like peanut butter and jelly. You two, I wish you an absolute lifetime of inside jokes, of laughter, of adventure and joy and love, love, love.
