During the day Bailey took the time to get all the photos I wanted and even re took family photos when my dad arrived 2.5 hours late. She even made sure I had a moment alone with my spouse before we walked down the aisle just to calm those nerves. All those little things added up to be big things that I reflect on now and am so thankful for.
Bailey was so sweet and so kind, she stood up for me multiple times during the day so I could have the photos/ wedding of my dreams. She also was so quick to turn around all the photos! The photos turned out great and I can’t wait to share them with my family and the future generations to come!!
