Caroline & Joe
OCTOBER 5, 2019 // EL RENO, OK
“I don’t know if there are two people who more deserve each other than you two.”
Caroline & Joe’s wedding day was filled with laughter, happy tears, worship, & a lot of dancing. Something that seemed to continuously come up while family members & friends reflected on their relationship is how patient they’ve both been. They both took their time to find the one - to find each other - & praise the Lord they did! These two were made for each other.
I’m not sure I’ve ever met a girl who smiles more than Caroline. Throughout the day, she was full of joy & always laughing. My favorite moments are those where she’s visibly excited - jumping up & down in glee over the fact that she gets to marry the love of her life. That’s how a bride should feel on her wedding day.
Family members always play a big role in a couple’s wedding & marriage, but Caroline & Joe really made sure to include their family, because both of their families are incredibly important to them. Joe is a twin, & through the whole day, I caught glimpses of how much love those two have for each other in how Jarrett supported & encouraged Joe. Watch closely as Caroline comes down the aisle - not only is Joe shedding a few tears, but so is Jarrett. I think this is the sweetest thing.
Caroline’s dad officiated the wedding & led the couple as they exchanged vows & made a promise to each other before family & friends, & the Lord. It’s clear how deeply Caroline & Joe desire to glorify the Lord in their marriage. While this video shares their wedding day story, I think it’s clear that the real story is ultimately about something much bigger. Caroline & Joe’s firm faith in Jesus drives them to pursue a life committed solely to Him - & their marriage will be no different.
These two also know how to have a good time - & some great dance moves! Joe & his groomsmen dominated the dance floor & eventually covered mostly everyone in their sweat. And while that may be gross, that’s the kind of wedding reception I always hope for! Because that means everyone is having so much fun celebrating this couple’s marriage, & it’s a marriage worth celebrating. Needless to say, Caroline & Joe’s reception was a blast & I have never seen a group of boys put on a better show when Yellowcard’s, “Ocean Avenue” started playing.
I am so grateful to have gotten to witness Caroline & Joe’s wedding - not just their ceremony, but the moments leading up to it as well. I can’t say enough about their authenticity & their joy. They’re the type of people who make your day better when you spend time with them. I’m grateful for their marriage & the way they plan to serve the Lord through it. And I’m so grateful to have gotten to capture these moments & create a film for them to cherish & rewatch for years to come. My hope is that each time they watch their wedding video, they’ll be reminded of how faithful the Lord is & how deeply their love for Him & each other runs. It is a very beautiful thing.
Thank you, Caroline & Joe, for letting me capture your day!
