Ben and Monica had the sweetest wedding day! They filled their church with their closest friends and family members and had their hand in every detail of their day. Ben and Monica’s love for each other and those around them was at the forefront of everything. Though their guest list included just those closest to them, the love surrounding these two shown so brightly. 

Monica took such care in the details of her wedding day, that she carefully hand-knit each of her bridesmaid’s shawls. Not to mention, the details she put into the table decor full of their favorite things (books and Yahtzee – of course!), and engraving her and Ben’s name onto their vase of unity sand. It’s all the little touches that made this day so sweet and so characteristic of who they are together. 

One of my favorite parts of the wedding day, was being able to capture the ENTIRETY of their guest list right after their ceremony. Everyone was just so happy that these two had gotten married and it really showed in their photograph. One of their sweet friends even hunted down a ladder for me to ensure everyone got included! Thank you, friend!! 

I also loved that Ben and Monica decided to have a sparkler exit! Their sparkler exit was the only one I’d been able to capture this wedding season. My goodness was it a beautiful one!! You’ll need to scroll down to the end of their blog post to see this one- ten out of ten would recommend. (: 

It was such a joy to get to experience your intimate wedding day, Ben and Monica. I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to get to know the two of you even more. I adore the kindness, humility, and pureness you express together. I’m wishing you so much love in your marriage together!
