Love + COVID-19
// The Baughman Wedding //
I had first met Joy and Mike at a venue open house in Deltona in January of 2019. Upon meeting them I was so humbled because Joy had recognized me from seeing some of my work from Bridle Oaks. I learned that they had met at the Barn in Sanford. I commented on how much I loved her tattoo and she shared with me that she wanted her bouquet to look like it too. It all sounded so beautiful, and I loved the happy-spring vibe that she had shared for the vision for her day. Soon after the event we connected and discovered that we were going to make a great match! I was ecstatic, but nothing could have prepared us for what what was to come.
This was our first wedding captured since the pandemic had really gone into full swing and while we didn’t know necessarily what to expect, we were eager to capture Joy and Mike’s much anticipated day and love that they share for one another.
Aside from sharing these precious moments that we had the opportunity of capturing for Joy and Michael’s special day I also want to share with you a “Q and A” with Joy. In this blog we we talk of their wedding planning experience and how they helped make their special day a dream come true during a global pandemic.
J&M’s engagement session (shown in their Save the Dates) was Bridle Oaks too. It was so perfect!
They went with a beautiful, AAG custom Magnet Save the Dates design.
Joy and Mike held hands and read their vows to one another just before the ceremony. This private moment was special and sentimental.
Special thanks to Joy for contributing her experience.
This Q&A blog goes out to all brides and grooms-to-be who are waiting for their special day to arrive during this time.
