Weddings

Hollyn’s house was buzzing starting at 8 AM sharp. There were women everywhere, mostly chatting about how wonderful Hollyn is and how gorgeous she was going to look in her dress. Hollyn was in the make up chair, perfectly calm, making sure that everyone else was doing well and before we knew it, it was time for the dress! Tears welled up in everyone’s eyes as her dress was buttoned up and someone grabbed a mirror so Hollyn could see herself. Her jaw dropped! It was a room full of family and a few close friends so everyone there knew exactly what she’d walked through to get to this day. Worship music played in the background as she put on her jewelry and waited for her sweet father to come see her. Cue the tears, all over again! Her dad was blown away and started crying all over again when Hollyn gifted him a handkerchief for the day. The only time I saw Hollyn become phased or overwhelmed by it all is when she found out there was only an HOUR until ceremony time! Other than that, we was full of peace, knowing she was marrying the man she loved.

The moments before the ceremony were full of emotion. Calm as ever, Hollyn walked out, guitar in hand, to pray with Justin and surprise him with a worship song. Justin wiped back tears as they praised God for all He’d done. Justin got emotional all over again when the double doors opened to reveal Hollyn during the ceremony. He whispered “Thank you Jesus” quickly and locked eyes with her. They met on Tinder! As their pastor said…just like every great Christian couple meets. :] Justin and Hollyn both mimed swiping right as he retold their story. The two of them got to relive their chance meeting in front of their favorite people and commit to love Jesus and love each other. It was a huge celebration as soon as they walked down the aisle! Finally married! The whole evening continued in the same way the ceremony went! SO much joy, so much praise for Jesus, and a lot of laughter. So many people had wonderful things to say about Justin and Hollyn…especially about Justin and Hollyn together!! They went out in a sparkler filled tunnel, looking perfectly cinematic!

It was an honor to be allowed in the intimate moments of Justin and Hollyn’s wedding day! From the joy filled laughter to the heartfelt toasts to the crazy moves on the dance floor, we had a blast the entire time! It passed in the blink of an eye and we wish we could do it all over again! Hope you enjoy their Hotel Roanoke wedding!
