Destination Wedding – Outer Banks / Kristen + Danny

I have to keep this short.

When I sat down at my computer to put together the story of Kristen and Danny’s day for all of you, my emotions came pouring out.

I wrote way too much. My original post had way too many photos. Their story is almost too beautiful to me. When Danny said his vows and cried, I cried.

Too much.

Too much to say thank you for. To Kristen and Danny for bringing me to North Carolina to spend time with them in the Outer Banks. For insisting that I be their photographer, long before most people had seen a lot of my work. For telling me what their photos meant to them, and how they held hands and cried when they watched their slideshow for the first time.

For being friends and not just another couple.

And to my friend Kat for coming along. Some of her photos are included and having her there made me better. I feel lucky to have had you along to share the day with.

It was one of those days. Too much.
