We recently had the pleasure of documenting Katie and Jeff’s wedding at the beautiful Madeline Parrish. We’ll have more about the story of their day soon, but some of the most sentimental and impactful moments came before the the formals or ceremony even began. While getting ready, Katie chose to honor the generations of women who came before her by carrying momentos from their weddings.

And Katie’s very own special touch!
Family details weren’t the only important tradition for Katie. We learned that at every wedding, the family gathers and sings “Rocky Mountain High” by John Denver.
I never found out why, or how the tradition came to be – but it was darling!
