Some people recall 2020 with a shudder. For Kori and Austin, it's the year they fell in love. And they commemorated their marriage with a wedding as sweet and intimate as their courtship. I've photographed at Sunset Ridge a number of times, but there was something especially darling about this couple's wedding. They opted for a first touch instead of a first look, a unity sandwich instead of a unity candle, and Kori offered her mom as well as her dad a first dance during the reception. And I had the pleasure of having recommended the cake vendor (Sweeties' Janette, a church friend). Truly the icing on the cake. (Sorry not sorry.)
