The Prayer Before.

A deeply meaningful part of a Catholic wedding day is the time set aside for prayer before the wedding Mass—both with the wedding party and with parents. When a bride and groom pause to pray with those who have walked alongside them in faith, these moments invite the Holy Spirit into the day and beautifully honor the role family and friendship play in their vocation. As a Catholic wedding photographer, I cherish capturing this quiet time of grace and unity, when the celebration begins not in haste, but in prayer, gratitude, and trust in God.
