A Pensacola, FL Wedding at the Grand Hotel | Diane + Derek

Diane+DerekFavorites-114Diane gets this  adorable, crinkly nosed giggle when she laughs.  Her eyes sparkle, and her face lights up- especially when Derek is in the room.  He has this ability to make her laugh like no one else does.  His tenderness, and charm are what made Diane fall for him.  But, it was his selflessness and quiet humor that keeps her falling in love with him every day.  He doesn’t just take care of her, he enriches her life, and that my friends, is the most beautiful thing.

Diane + Derek got married in a beautiful Catholic Church on a warm day in August.  Each detail of their day was perfectly planned, and coordinated to tell the love story that Diane + Derek started.  It was magnificent!  From Diane’s most stunning dress (which I just LOVED photographing at her Bridal Session!), to beautiful paper products hand crafted by the ever talented Grace and Serendipity Paperie to the wonderful people that celebrated, the day was one to remember!!

I have the best in laws in the whole wide world 🤍
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
For Thanksgiving, my little family and I made our way back to Alabama to celebrate with David’s parents & sisters. We traveled 10 hours with all three kids 3 and under. Everyone did wonderfully and I’ve gotta say it was one of my biggest accomplishments in life 😂🥰. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We had so much fun baking pies, taking walks, and enjoying quality time together. Dave got to see his best bud & I got to spend a lot of quality time with my mother in law 🥰
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
My in laws sacrifice so much for their family. They work hard, love our babies so beautifully and ALWAYS make an effort to come visit us when they can. It was so much fun traveling back to sweet home Alabama to be with them 🤍
