Dan + Catherine Wedding Weekend | Crystal Lake

But what stuck out to us more than all the pretty views and gorgeous florals was Dan and Cath’s hearts. The kind of love Dan and Cath have—for each other and everyone around them—is the kind of love that slows you down, stops you in your tracks, and allows you to sit in every moment with intention.

Dan and Catherine’s entire wedding weekend was filled to the brim with sunshine and joy and all their favorite people together. They kicked off the festivities with a casual and intimate rehearsal dinner to welcome all their friends and family before gathering again the following day for their wedding.

Everything was beautiful and the weather was perfect, but what stuck out to us more than all the pretty views and gorgeous florals was Dan and Cath’s hearts. The kind of love Dan and Cath have—for each other and everyone around them—is the kind of love that slows you down, stops you in your tracks, and allows you to sit in every moment with intention.

It was evident throughout the entire weekend: shown in the way they laughed with their friends, cried during toasts, how Cath held Dan’s face during their first look, or when Dan simply reached for his grandmother’s hand to hold after dinner. The love and care these two have for all their people is so deep and genuine.

It was a joy to witness it all firsthand as we were invited into their celebration and welcomed as friends.
