Massachusetts Charming, DIY, Red Barn Wedding: Susie & Bear {Studio SMC Photography}

I always thought my favorite part of the wedding would be the reception with all my friends and family, breaking it down on the dancefloor and drinking frozen margaritas. My biggest fear was the ceremony. A well known cryer on any happy occasion, I was scared I wouldn’t be able to get through my vows, and thought that I would breathe a huge sigh of relief the moment the ceremony was over. Much to my surprise, my very favorite moment of the whole day was the ceremony. There were tears, but they were the most wonderful tears I’ve ever experienced. The clouds literally broke as my bridesmaids and I were walking down the hallway and it was a perfectly warm, beautiful day. The love in the air was tangible and I absolutely didn’t want it to end.

Here’s the photo-heavy loveliness!

LOVE this!
