“Marriage is not some Fairytale. It is Love, Selflessness, Patience, Tolerance and Enduring the hard times together.”

Even during a normal year, wedding planning can cause a ton of stress. Now throw in a global pandemic, a global movement to end police brutality and racial injustice, extreme weather, murder hornets and some other unprecedented challenges into the mix, and you can imagine how most brides were feeling. With group gatherings large and small cancelled due to COVID-19, thousands of brides, including Tracie, were forced to postpone their upcoming weddings.

Despite the tragic realities and stream of challenges we faced in 2020, we found new levels of courage, humility, resilience and resolve. As we all move forward, let us always remember not to take anyone or anything in life for granted.

Thank you Tracie and Christopher for sharing your special day with me, and thank you so much for being so incredibly patient throughout this process. Your patience and flexibility have proven what a wonderful couple you are, and the love and chemistry I see in these photos are evident of your patience and understanding for one another will make for a happier and healthier marriage.
