Stephanie’s getting ready suite was a perfect combination of joy and tears. Stephanie went from a First Look with her bridesmaids, to one with Emile’s mom Cheryl, to one with her dad, to (finally!) her First Look with Emile himself! Not to mention Emile’s First Look with his mom! People were passing out tissues left and right 😭 It was so wonderful to be able to have a unique and separate moment with so many of the people who mean the most to Stephanie and Emile on the morning of their wedding day.

After traveling all over for their friends’ weddings in the last 12 months, it was finally Stephanie and Emile’s turn to tie to the knot! And their joy was unparalleled.

Seeing their friends gathered together to celebrate them was truly a sight — as well as a party! The dancefloor was bumping ALL night long (not the least bit because Emile got a hold of the mic for a Backstreet Boys song). And their 20-person wedding party brought a level of energy to their portraits that we rarely get to see!
