mallori and nick met forever ago and were friends throughout their high school years while she “dated pretty much all his friends” until she finally realized that her heart really belonged with nick. his patience paid off and they tied the knot in front of all their family and friends. mallori and nick have such a calm presence about them, and that wasn’t lacking on their wedding day. mallori plans and coordinates weddings for a living and as it turns out, she also plays bride like a total pro. the weather on their day was far from ideal and while most brides would be a basket case, she let it roll off her shoulders. which is probably why we were rewarded with beautiful sunshine after the ceremony, just in time for some portraits.

mallori, i’m so glad this journey brought us together. i so value you not only as a bride but as a friend. and nick, i wish i could bottle up the love that oozes from your ever-present dimples. you breathe life and sunshine into every room you enter. together, you are a force. a force i’m lucky to know.
