The first wedding of 2025 is officially in the books! And what a heartfelt, joyful way to kick off the season—with plenty of familiar faces and even a few furry ones.
Terri is someone I’ve known since grade school (she’s one of my classmate’s moms!), and I’ve had the honor of photographing her family over the years. When she reached out about her wedding, I was so excited to be part of such a meaningful day.
Back toward the end of last year, Rick was in a terrible accident. Since then, it’s been a long road to recovery—one filled with challenges, but also with unwavering love and support from Terri and their loyal pup, Cowboy. (Cowboy, by the way, made sure to make his presence known on the wedding day and definitely soaked up every pet and cuddle he could get.)
Though the day wasn’t without its difficulties for Rick, he was a total trooper and pushed through with such grace. And more importantly, it was clear just how happy he was to be officially marrying Terri, surrounded by the people—and pets—who mean the most to them.
Their reception was a laid-back celebration filled with delicious food, laughter, and heartfelt moments shared with close family and friends. Oh, and I can’t forget to mention the adorable rubber ducky cake, topped with tiny bride and groom ducks—such a sweet and quirky touch that felt so them.
I’m so happy for these two and can’t wait to share more from their beautiful day. Here’s to a future filled with healing, love, and all the good things they so deeply deserve.
