The McDowells | 02.22.20
Ronni & Austin said “I Do” under a wooden arch behind The Barn in the Trail in Ponce De Leon, Fl. Their day was full of emotion, where none was held back and all emotion was felt as the waves came in. I truly love when my couples decide to live in the moment, whatever comes is enjoyed and I really didn’t feel any stress radiating off of Austin or Ronni at all.
The girls got ready in the top of the barn. I seriously knew all but one bridesmaid so it made kicking back and watching them get ready feel extremely normal and honestly graceful. I didn’t even share all of my favorite shots here, I decided to keep some as a surprise for the gallery reveal. This wedding really made my soul happy.
As look through their blog, look closely for tears being shed… there are so many moments where Ronni, Austin, Dad, Bridesmaids, Brother, & more were overflowing with emotions.
Some pointers on when to look for tears
Father’s first look
Taylor’s gift to Ronnie (During both hugs)
Austin before Ronni taps him for the first look

During the ceremony
After the ceremony, when Ronni’s brother just needed a hug. He is such a loving human. and his happiness shined all day!
Taylor, one of Ronni’s bridesmaids, gifted her with this chain to wear around her bouquet so her mother could be with her throughout the day and walk with her down the aisle.
Holli, one of Ronni’s bridesmaids, asked to pray over Ronni before walking down the aisle. She specifically asked for it to be documented. This wasn’t the only time her bridesmaids showed how much they valued me and the documentation of special moments.
I wasn’t cool enough to get these sponsored by White Claw or Bud Light.. but that’s okay. We still. had a great wedding day thanks to the vendors involved below!
