Alli + Jared | Married - Erin Marie Photography

This wedding day filled my heart and soul with so much joy, it’s hard to put into words just how much being a part of it all meant to me. Not only did I get to witness my childhood friend marry the love of his life, but I feel like I gained so many more friends throughout the day and was welcomed with open arms no questions asked from the moment I stepped through the door. 2021 was hard and busy and stressful and to be perfectly honest, was not the most fun at times; but I swear I felt a whole new pep in my step when I was done photographing this wedding. It was everything I needed to get me through the rest of my busy season. You really couldn’t ask for a better group of people. Both sides of the families were so much fun to work with and the bridal party kept me laughing all day long. It was truly such a fun filled day from beginning to end! Also super thankful Alli and Jared decided to get married on a Friday because the day after was a complete washout. They had literally the most perfect fall wedding day! Not too hot, not too cold, and no rain in sight. If anything, the incoming storm gave us GORGEOUS sunset clouds and I could not have been more thankful for Mother Nature in that moment!

Alli and Jared, I wish you both a lifetime of happiness, hiking adventures, and Zeke cuddles! I’m so happy you two found each other and gave it chance! Anyone that has spent even just 5 minutes with the two of you can see that you both have found not the person that completes you, but the person that makes you the best versions of yourselves. Cheers to many many years of the love and happiness you felt on this beautiful wedding day!
