Eleanor and Kevin : Wedding // Murray Hill, Virginia | The Knot + Green Wedding Shoes

Screen Shot 2015-06-26 at 4.57.30 PM

I thought about putting together a 2013 Year In Review post, but after looking back I decided this cheeriest day of summer had enough of my year wrapped up in its story that it only seems right instead. : )

It started out as any another wedding…typical except for the interview call from Africa about some people who met in England and fell in love in Kenya and were getting married in Virginia before they moved to Scotland.  They were instantly stuck to my heart and I’ve been so blessed by their hospitality in my adventures across the pond. From Kevin teaching me stick shift + frolicking by the sea in England in the winter to the city streets and crumbling bookstores of Glasgow this fall, their lives have been such a gift to mine.

They’re the sort of couple who live out their priorities no matter of how difficult it is to get there, and I know their commitment to that will keep making their lives so special.

Their wedding was a gem of a day with its joy and play and whimsy, and the people they chose to bring their vision to life are some of the absolute best too. (Most especially Laura with Events in the City and Paula who shot with me!) It was featured on Green Wedding Shoes and then also a 6-page feature in The Knot (national!) magazine, which is the biggest honor of basically all ever.

So, here’s to 2013 – to the colors, the adventures, the stuck-to-your-heart-friendships; the lessons learned, the joys chosen, and the love of God known.
