The morning of Caroline and Anthony’s wedding went by in a blur but when he waited for her at the end of the church hallway it truly felt like things slowed down. Where there had been rushing around minutes before, there was a quiet, sweet anticipation.

I love first looks.

I love that it slows things down.

I love that it makes certain that there is time set aside for nice, long extended hugs like this one.

Poor Anthony was wiping red lipstick off his face from this moment until the send-off at the end of the evening  — he just couldn’t keep himself from kissing that beautiful bride of his.
