The Smith's wedding day was such a fun day to capture! We met Aimee and Jackson over year ago, and we instantly felt like we knew them our whole lives! They are both the type of people that would give you the shirt off their back if you needed it. After sitting down with both of them, we knew we were in for a good time, and their wedding day was just that! Everyone was smiling from ear to ear, and excitement filled the air from their big day finally being here!
Number One Tip for Future Phocus Brides to Consider:
"Don’t stress it!"-Aimee
I am not too surprised to hear this advice from Aimee! If you don't have some sort of stress on your wedding day...something is wrong!LOL! It is probably the most common factor of the wedding day, but it's all about how you handle it! A helpful tip to remember is that it is 100% normal to stress, anyone who's married can testify to that, but at the end of the day...you get to marry your best friend! Go for the ride, and enjoy the crazy, because the day will FLY by!
What moment were you most looking forward to seeing in the photos?
"The photos from when we said I do."-Jackson
In this exact moment, reality comes hitting you like a truck, and excitement rushes over you! It is something that does not feel real, and you could see just how excited these two were to finally put a ring on that finger!
What moment were you most looking forward to seeing in the photos?
"The photos on the street!"-Aimee
We loved how easy-going Aimee and Jackson were during their photos! They were down for anything, and you know we are here for it! Who knew just a simple ole street could look so good??
How did you two meet?
"Tinder."-Aimee
As crazy as it is, online dating has become more and more of a success story for our newlyweds! Aimee and Jackson balance each other so well, and they are a match made in heaven! Thank you, Tinder!!
Tell us about THE dress!
"It was perfect."-Aimee
This dress was truly one of a kind! It was not the type of style I see too often, and I loved it! There were so many details throughout Aimee's dress, and there was always something new to look at the more you looked at it!
Tell Us About Your First Dance!
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST DANCE SONG?:
Swayin to the music
WHY DID YOU CHOOSE THAT SONG?:
"We love oldies but goodies."-Aimee
We are suckers for that throw back music! There's nothing like bringing back the old days. Aimee and Jackson's first dance was such a special moment, because you can truly see how much this moment meant to the both of them.
Describe the BRIDE on your wedding day!
"Beautiful and breathtaking!"-Jackson
Jackson hit the nail right on the head! Aimee looked dang good, and she knew it! She had that "wedding day" glow, and she looked like a goddess!
Describe the GROOM on your wedding day!
"Fine as sh*t! He was slammin!"-Aimee
I will say that Aimee's response to this made us laugh so hard! It is 100% an "Aimee" type of response, and we couldn't possibly try to top that! No further words are needed! LOL!
What was the most EMOTIONAL part of the day and WHY?
"First look."-Jackson/Aimee
Talk about anticipation!! There is so much suspense that builds up on the wedding day in those restless moments to lay you eyes on each other. Once that moment comes, there is no denying the flood of emotions that come flying in! You can try to imagine what your future hubby or wife is going to look like on your wedding day, but until that moment finally happens, no imagination can simply compare!
What is ONE moment of your wedding you will always remember?
"The walk out of the church seeing our family and friends support us."-Aimee
This is such a surreal moment for our newlyweds, because it's like the last "hooray" before you start your next chapter together as a married couple. No matter what sort of exit you do on your wedding day, you are surrounded by all who love and support you guys who are wishing you the best in the future!
