**This wedding was shot by my fantastic Associate Photographer, Melissa**

Handwritten vows are always a wonderfully personal touch on a wedding day.  July and Michael had beautiful heartfelt vows, and they took turns reading them to one another line-by-line.  The back and forth was such a great metaphor for marriage and undoubtedly sweet.  As it turns out, their whole day was full of personal touches.  A sweets table filled with contributions from the whole family (and a bit of Garrett’s popcorn from Chicago, of course), a hand-painted timeline of their history, pieces from their home used among the centerpieces and a hilarious dance performance from the Bride and her Brother.
