David + Cierra Are Married! – Decatur Wedding Photography

Weddings

Jun 30, 2015

You know when you meet a couple for the first time, and you instantly know you’re going to really like them? That was David and Cierra. From our first coffee date to their freezing cold engagement session (there was a reason for that quilt and the hot chocolate!), they’ve just been such a joy.

This wedding couldn’t have been any sweeter. The pure joy of both David and Cierra was beautiful. And the details. Oh, the details. Our jaws dropped when we found out that Cierra and her mom did most of the decorations themselves. Vintage china, perfect place settings, an adorable cake table, scrabble letters…it was the perfect DIY inspiration!

David and Cierra chose not to see each other before the wedding, but they took some time to pray together before the ceremony. I love the emotion on their faces!
