Monica + Scott had one of those combination weddings that kept us excited the entire day! There was laughter { lots of laughter & happiness } there were sentimental moments, there were happy tears, their were tearful memories of those lost but certainly never forgotten and there were surprise dances by the team of Monica’s dance students who put together a beautiful and professional show for her.

Master Photographer Julie & Expert Photographer Emily had the pleasure of spending this day with these two and absolutely loved getting to know the family and the beautiful history and traditions they share. There was a bad dancer in the house nor a dry eye during the continuation of Monica’s Father/Daughter dance she completed with her brother in honor of her late father.

All in all it was a beautiful and meaning day and we’re so happy to share with you all the incredible photos from it, enjoy!

These shoes are not only stunningly gorgeous but they have photos of Monica’s late father on the back of each, a symbol of him walking her down the aisle. So sweet!

Such a cute idea!

Monica with her brother, right before they walked down the aisle. There isn’t a more intense moment than this one.

But first…

When you teach dance and your family & friends all dance… then you dance!

There was not a dry eye in the house when Monica dance with her brother to “Butterfly Kisses”, the song her father and her danced the first half to at her 15th birthday celebration promising each other they would finish the song at her wedding. It was finished by her brother after a video of Monica’s first part of the dance with her father played for the crowd. I get choked up just thinking about it, what a special moment!

Then Monica’s talented dance students took to the floor to perform a dance they choreographed specially for her wedding day, it was truly incredible!
