Maria and Nick’s rustic barn wedding was full of ALL the emotions, and for good reason! On top of planning a long engagement so Maria could finish school before they wed, they were met with the additional challenge of COVID-19. The pandemic forced them to reschedule their May 30th day to the end of July, but that didn’t stop Nick from surprising her with an outdoor movie night and mini celebration on their original wedding date!

When it finally came time for their first look, Nick got choked up preparing to see his bride. Sometimes those quiet moments before the big walk down the aisle, when it’s just the two of you, surprise our couples with how much raw emotion they bring. Seeing the way he looked at his bride as he realized he was FINALLY going to get to marry her… that today was the day… that there would be no more delays… it was an emotional moment, for sure.

Maria and Nick, we had so much fun celebrating with you two at The Josephina! You had the most beautiful day, and even though it was nothing like what you originally planned or expected, it was perfect! We loved getting to be a small part of your wedding day – CONGRATULATIONS!!

Nick used this sweet mini book when he proposed to Maria. I loved that she thought to bring it along so we could photograph it with all of their other wedding day details that tell such a big part of their story!
