Good morning and happy Wednesday, you guys! I’m so excited to reveal our WEDDING PHOTOS today on the blog! Our photographer Bethany Small was absolutely over the top AMAZING. She was a calm and peaceful presence on our wedding day and is genuinely the sweetest person in the world. Not to mention that she captured some of the most meaningful, precious moments that Chris and I have ever experienced. I’m in AWE of her talent!!!! This is just a sliver of the photos that Bethany took, so I’m going to split them up into several blog posts. This blog post features our ceremony and some pictures of me and Chris.
I hope you enjoy them and get a little peek into our special day – and check back tomorrow BRIGHT AND EARLY for my Nordstrom Anniversary Sale Picks (and a big surprise 😉
P.S. All of the wedding details/sources are listed at the bottom of this post!

To recap this post, it was absolutely, truly and honestly, the best day of my life. Up until the morning of my wedding, I worried and worried and worried some more – about the flowers, how my hair would turn out, if I had picked the right tablecloths for the reception, etc. – and in the end, it all turned out exactly how I had imagined it. What’s funny is that, I barely even noticed the tablecloths and the flowers and all the little details that I had lost sleep over during the last year… when you’re holding hands with your new husband and surrounded by every single person you love… it doesn’t even matter. I have never felt so happy, joyous, supported, and filled with love on that day. Chris and I want to thank all of our friends and family for being there on that day, and all of YOU guys for supporting us as well. All of your emails, tweets, and DMs have not gone unnoticed – I love you guys and am so thankful for your outpouring of love!
Don’t forget to check back tomorrow morning because I have another HUGE surprise!!! 🙂

Absolutely gorgeous! So happy it was your dream come true. Wishing you and chris all the happiness.
Hi Caitlin, this has to be my favourite post of yours of all time. Stunning pics, stunning couple. I especially love the story behind your marriage, which I think you opened up about on your blog in 2013 or so. You two worked through everything and didn't give up on each other and in the end you were brought back together. If it's meant to be, it's meant to be. Wishing you a great rest of the week. Lots of love from Germany, Anne
These photos are absolutely beautiful!! Can't get over that dress xx
