Gosh, I am not quite sure where to begin… I first met these two last spring, as their little guy was about to turn one. Since then, we’ve stayed in close contact and have met up for a few other events and sessions. While I typically shoot families, children and newborns, I was honored when Nicole reached out requesting photo coverage for their intimate vow renewal. I am so glad she thought to ask, and how could I say no? It has been a pleasure watching her family’s journey, and it was an honor to be a part of such a beautiful evening!
Nicole and Daulton planned an intimate vow renewal on the property belonging to Daulton’s parents. From the lights to the furnishings to the energy in the air, it was a perfect evening for these two to say “I Do” again, as witnessed by some of their closest friends, including Walker, their two-year-old son. Did you notice him with Nicole’s bouquet above? How stinkin’ adorable is he?!
If I had to come up with a caption for this photo, it would likely go something like this… “Guys, as soon as you’re done, I’ll be right over here waiting for my diaper change.” Oh my… when I saw this image, I literally laughed out loud! You know how kids have those ‘comfort’ things? My little guy sucked his two middle fingers. Well, Walker likes to put one hand down his pants and he sucks his fingers on his other hand (never the same hand, I promise! HA!). It is the cutest, silliest thing I’ve ever seen! :-D
The ceremony was so “Messick.” These two can be serious, but they also know how to laugh, kick back, roll with the punches and have a good time. And their ceremony was nothing short of just that. There were plenty of laughs - between Walker following me around (and nearly tripping over him), Walker tossing his toy bowl onto the carpet next to mom and dad, and Daulton trying to pull a fast one on his cousin Amanda, the officiant, hoping she’d read the word “fart” out loud - it really was a memorable event to witness these two renew their vows to one another. And I must say, they make a F-I-N-E-E-E-E-E-E-E pair! Wouldn’t you agree? Their love is on F-I-R-E-E-E-E-E-E-E!
^^ Did I mention he (the little guy) is adorable? He totally tried to steal the show during mommy and daddy’s ceremony.
Nicole and Daulton, I hope you continue dancing like nobody’s watching. I hope that Walker continues to follow in your footsteps. And I pray I’m there to document it every step of the way. Okay, maybe not every step… ;-) Wishing you many more years of craziness together! ;-)
