A story fit for a princess bride dressed in sparkly whites and lace. From her braided hair down to her ballerina feet, she was dressed with divine elegance and royalty. The color tones of dusty blues and golds brushed over the already regal wedding style. Their classic love story was put on display for their closest guests to witness. There were so many heartfelt moments to capture but one in particular brought a unspeakable joy. Their flower girl and ring bearer both brought smiles and sweetness to Skyler and Caroline’s wedding day story.

The bride looked remarkably stunning and similar to Queen Elsa from Frozen. She gets ready with the grace of a ballerina and with the elegance of a Princess.

The flower girl needed a moment with her father during bridal party photos. This one hug from her father set her heart with the fullness of secure love to get her through the rest of the day. Sometimes this is all it takes.

He was dressed in a vintage train conductor hat and black suspenders to finish the classic look. The ring bearer insisted needing a rock to hold during the portraits.

This moment instantly melts the heart at first look. These are the precious in-between moments that happen and are worth holding onto. This was just minutes away from the bride promising to hold tight and love her husband forever.
