A Teary First Look

Katie and John's first look was monumental for many reasons. Firstly, all of their original plans had failed, but they ended up getting married earlier on a very small scale despite the pandemic. Secondly, they had endured so many joys and challenges to get to the larger celebration that they were just so grateful that - despite all of the craziness of world - the simple beauty of the day and their relationship with each other and their family was all they really needed.
