Thank you so much Blair & Pete for having me there to capture your big day!! Y'all made my job easy by GLOWING with love for one another. I had such a fun day with y'all and was so excited for this specific day after running into Pete multiple times before it! Blair smiled the entire day which made me smile the entire time I spent editing! You two are truly an amazing couple. Pete's reaction to Blair made me cry--which never happens with my own videos! When Pete sang to Blair my heart melted! I am so happy for y'all and so happy to now have two great friends out of this! ❤ CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
