Memorial Day Wedding Inspiration

Happy Memorial Day! I couldn’t think of a better shoot to share for today. Desiree Dawn Events designed this shoot that was inspired by Desiree’s cousin, Sara. Sara and Erick were married a few years ago, then had their first child shortly after. Sara + Erick both serve in the United States Army and are both currently deployed overseas away from their baby girl. Desiree wanted to design a shoot to showcase and thank Sara and Erik for all that they – and all the others stationed abroad – do for us. Big thanks to Shea Christine Photography for the stunning photos!

From Desiree, This year, let’s remember who we’re memorializing on this day. Our veterans. Our fallen soldiers. It’s our grandparents, our parents, brothers or sisters, moms and dads. All gave some,  and some gave all. God bless all of our soldiers and their families. Please come home safe! For all the weddings that never happened because lives were cut short, this is for you. And to Sara + Erick, if I could plan a wedding for you, this would be it.
