I could RAVE about Max + Erin and their beautiful wedding at The Radisson Paper Valley Hotel over and over (and over). I have photographed weddings at this hotel a few times before, but never have I been able to photograph a ceremony in their outdoor courtyard. For those planning a wedding and wanting to stick in the valley, you HAVE to check out this space, I’m telling you! Anyways, the day seriously went off without a hitch, honestly and truly. Erin was the most relaxed, humble, sweet + excited bride. She put her dress on before she needed to because she just couldn’t wait any longer. She slipped into her gown with only her mom in the room, which made her reveal to her dad + bridesmaids that much sweeter. I know I’ve spoke about her dad before in their sneak peeks, but his happiness and excitement to watch his daughter marry the love of her life was so, so sweet. Every time they looked at one another they cried (see their first look + first dance… ah!) He has three rules for the 5 guys who get to take his 5 daughters’ hands in marriage : 1.) Pray for her everyday. 2.) Love her unconditionally. 3.) Treat her like the princess that she is. When Max asked to marry Erin, he said that he already prays for Erin everyday, he loves her unconditionally and can’t wait to treat her like the princess that she is everyday of his life.

The day came and went, and it was truly so seamless and beautiful. The way Max’s eyes lit up when he saw his bride was amazing. Walking down the aisle, Erin had eyes on Max, would turn to look at her dad, back at Max, and back at her dad. It was so special to see these moments to know how important family was on this blissful day. They couldn’t stop smiling and it was clear as day that this was really the happiest day of their lives!

I can’t wait to share with you their wedding day story!
