There are not many things that bring me more joy then seeing a good friend marry the love of her life! On Friday, May 20th, Taylor and Ben made a commitment to each other that will last a lifetime! These two are college sweet hearts who have definitely been brought together for a big purpose. I’ve known Taylor now for over 4 years. Our friendship began when I was blessed to lead a small group of girls through church their junior year of high school. I remember countless talks with all the ladies about how it is SO worth it to wait for a man that truly loves the Lord and will lead you well in your relationship! It brought tears to my eyes (not only at the wedding but as I’m editing the ceremony haha) when I thought about how thankful I am that Ben loves her so well. I’ve only known him for a little bit now, but it didn’t take me long to realize that she’s in some pretty great hands.

They were able to say their vows in front of friends and family on their families land (which was beautiful by the way!). Between the lace, turquoise, daisies and intricate details, this wedding was a day worth remembering. The best part though, is that it’s not the beauty of the materials that stood out, but the radiant joy that came from Ben + Taylor that made the day shine. They were so excited to make this promise and I may have shed a couple tears while shooting because of it all! I’m so excited for these two as they spend this summer learning about one another and serving others by ministering in their temporary home in North Dakota.

Congrats to Mr. + Mrs. Bays!

Enjoy reliving some of their big day through photos!
