This couple. This story. This day.

My entire heart is a puddle. And completely in awe of God. (as usual)

You see. I moved to Arizona right? And had made friends with one of the bride’s friends (Dianne) through Instagram. Dianne and I had met up for breakfast and she kept telling me, “Denise, you have to meet Bethany! You guys are so much alike and I just know you’d hit it off.”

So, Bethany and I planned a coffee date. We sat and chatted about our life’s similarities. Our love for Jesus, each of our struggles through our divorces, working from home, finding friends and of course DATING. She asked me if I had gone on any dates and I was told her I had this app….Hinge. She was hesitant, of course, so was I. But I told her…. “B, what’s the worst that can happen!? They’re all losers and you don’t talk to any of them?!” (Speaking from experience hahah!)

And now, three short months later….she married Jordan. The first and only guy she met from Hinge. (She was the first and only woman Jordan met too!!)

Their entire day was perfect. Not because the florals were beautiful, or because the churros were out of this world, or because everything ran on time. (although all of that was the case too) This day was perfect because it was true to them. God’s presence was truly palpable while they read their private vows and prayed together before the ceremony. Being in that room, photographing that moment was such an honor.

Bethany & Jordan – thank you times a million for trusting me to document your day. I am genuinely SO grateful that God used me as a small part in your beautiful love story.
