Natalie + J-Luke | Florence AL Wedding
Every wedding is special to me, but when my best friends get married— their wedding is a little extra special! I’ve known Natalie since we were in middle school. Watching her marry the love of her life, J-Luke in Florence AL was incredible. To be able to be the one capturing it all!? Seriously rad for all of us. Their wedding was like a big family reunion for me, in the best way possible!
Natalie and J-Luke brought their love of goofy and geeky things to their wedding day. One of the best parts of the day was when Natalie was supposed to meet J-Luke for a first look, and instead, our friend Zack, surprised J-Luke. After a real, emotional first look between Natalie and J-Luke, she went on to see her dad and her and J-Luke’s son, Spencer, before the ceremony too. It was ALL magical.
And then? Their outdoor wedding ceremony! Ugh, talk about emotional!! My husband, Austin, married them after being ordained online. I am so happy I got to document the moment they became officially husband and wife. Forever. Oh, and did I mention that their son was the ring bearer!? Heartstrings pulled…
With lots of downtown Florence, AL portraits to round out the evening before their reception, their day was truly a celebration of their love story. But, the fun didn’t end after their ceremony. During their reception, Natalie’s mom actually hired a dance crew to surprise them with a performance of “Thriller”. It was INCREDIBLE. Their night ended with a lightsaber send-off to celebrate the new Mr. and Mrs. Congratulations Natalie and J-Luke! Being a part of your wedding day was more special than you’ll ever know!
