Dreamy Villa Siena Wedding

wedding dress with lace and illusion sleeves

When I asked Andy about the moment he knew that Crystal was "The One," he told me a story. It's so sweet that I have to share it! He said: "During 2014, I had to travel quite a bit for work, so I was gone a lot ... up to 4 months at a time. When I left on an extended work trip in March of 2014, Crystal and I had been together for nearly a year, so we committed to making the long distance thing work."

"While on this trip, my best friend got married in Iowa, and I took a short leave to attend. Crystal and I were going to meet up in Iowa at the airport. My flight got in before Crystal's did, so I waited there for her. I knew that I was excited to see her after being apart for so long, but I had no idea how MUCH I missed her until I saw her walking toward me in the airport. I must have held her and kissed her for 20 minutes, ignoring all the people swirling around us in the airport. It was the best 20 minutes of my life. And from that moment on I realized that I never wanted to let her go."

I'm so very grateful that I got be there when Andy & Crystal vowed to do just that: never let each other go! Here are a few of my favorite photos from this beautiful wedding:
