Hilary and Bashir are married! Last Saturday, these two cuties promised to spend forever loving and supporting each other in front of their family members and friends. Their ceremony had me weeping behind my camera. Each wrote their own vows and I was just a mess as I listened to them declare their love for one another and how they would continue to choose and honor each other for many, many years to come.
From the first time I chatted with Hilary, I knew I adored her! She is so sweet and bubbly, like she could be your new best friend! After our first Skype meeting (she and Bashir were living in Tennessee at the time,) I had a feeling this couple would be amazing! I could not wait to photograph their Engagement Session and their wedding.
Their big day finally arrived and it was everything they ever dreamed of! They were surrounded by so much love and support, you could just feel the joy in the air. Held at the gorgeous Sepia Chapel with a reception at Tundra Lodge to follow, this wedding was all about fun and laughter. I think my favorite surprise moment that summed up how much fun this couple is was when they were introduced into dinner. The entire bridal party lined up and dance their way in to Toto’s “Africa.” As soon as the crowd heard the song, they started cheering and laughing. Hilary and Bashir know how to have a great time and their wedding was no different.
Congratulations Hilary and Bashir! It was an honor to be with you two on your beautiful wedding day and to document all your fun moments! I cannot wait to see where life takes you both!

When your Maid of Honor shares an embarrassing story that you told her never to tell, haha!
The Matron of Honor makes mystery shots for Bashir and he drinks them. So she made one for his wedding day.
He drank it! It was full of a bunch of different liquors, wine, and SALT!
Thanks to all the amazing wedding vendors that helped make Hilary & Bashir’s big day wonderful!
