I was only with Brad, Oakley, and their families for a short amount of time at the Bountiful LDS temple for their wedding day, but it was one of INCREDIBLY special day. Brad’s little sister, Gracie, is currently serving an LDS mission in Salt Lake City and was given permission to come be at their sealing. From the time Gracie first met Oakley, she liked her. When she was about to leave on her mission, she let Brad know that she would only be OK with Brad getting married while she was gone if he was marrying Oakley. That made having Gracie there that much more special. That was only one of the many things that made it so special. Friends and family had traveled from Texas, California, Idaho, and Utah. These two are well loved by so many people and it shows just how incredible their relationships are with so many people. I’ve worked with a lot of bridal parties, but I’m not sure any bridal party has had me laughing the way this one did. We do a thing called the bridal party photo booth where we have everyone change their pose every 3 seconds just like a normal photo booth that you do in the mall. We’ve had some really awesome reactions before, but this one took the cake! These bridesmaids and groomsmen know how to have a good time and I loved being able to get to know them all better!! Brad served an LDS mission in Spain and was given a white fan to give to his bride and it makes an appearance in these photos too!! I love that Oakley has something that will always tie her to Brad’s mission, even though they didn’t know each other then!

Brad and Oakley, I’m so sad that your wedding day has already come and gone!! It all seemed to go so fast, but I’m so grateful that I can still call you friends!! You guys are headed for an incredible adventure in your marriage and I cannot wait to see where life takes you!!

If you missed their bridals that we took the night before their wedding, find those here. Plus, their mountain engagement session was beautiful too- find that session here.
