For Valentine’s Day we asked our MP Brides to share their favorite image from their wedding or engagement session along with why it is so special to them. Enjoy some love straight from our brides (and grooms!) to you!

It was nearly impossible to choose, but this moment was when the fact that it was our wedding day really hit me. It was the sweetest moment, and dancing with Will to one of my favorite songs being sung live as a surprise, is by far one of my favorite memories. Most people know Will for his sense of humor, but this sweet, sentimental side that usually only I get to see is what made me fall in love with him. Jess and Will married in 2014.

This is one of my favorite pictures because Bud is smiling ? and because it shows the excitement that I have to marry my best friend! Charley and Bud getting married in 2016!

I’m from Greenville and Cole and I met at ECU. We both share a love for ECU and especially Pirate football. I love this picture because we had a great time taking photos in Dowdy Ficklen and around campus. We can’t wait for August 13!! Sarah and Cole getting married in 2016!

I love this picture so much. Everything about it. It’s such a simple moment but SO unforgettable. It was just a quick second of togetherness but it was the first time we had been alone with each other in days and it was right after we said our “I Dos” – makes me smile. Cecily and Tim married in 2015.

This is one of my absolute favorite pictures from our wedding, because it shows who we are as a couple. He keeps me grounded, and I keep him laughing! Also, this moment of walking down the aisle as husband and wife was the happiest moment of my life! ❤ Kaitlyn and Spencer married in 2015.

So many to choose from, but this one seems to be the most timeless for me. I think it stands out most because it’s just such an emotional moment. I always tell B that even after almost 10 years of being together, how I feel for him is still so indescribable. Every time I look at this photo it reminds me of that love and especially on the tough days, that he loves me just as much! Thanks girls for capturing this moment and for asking us to share.

The photo says it all… My feelings for him and his for me. Best day of our lives! Erin & Wally Married in 2014.

I just love this picture from our engagement session! Smiling and laughing comes so easy when I’m around Jeremy. I love that you can tell how truly happy we are together. And also just look at him ?? Brittany and Jeremy getting married in 2016!

This picture is definitely in my top 10 of favorites. Because through all the craziness of that day the moments we had alone, whispering sweet nothings, it felt like time stood still just for us. ❤ Tia and Devin married in 2015.

This is my favorite wedding photo. I think it’s funny. And our personalities show through. Cathy and Andy married in 2013.

To choose 1 favorite photo from our engagement and wedding photos is almost impossible. However, this photo of my husband, Seth, and I resembles much more than just a picture to us. It was taken in the middle of a prayer during our vows and it practically takes my breath away. There are so many emotions seen and felt here and we will FOREVER cherish this moment and photo thanks to Magnolia Photography!!!! Lauren and Seth married in 2015.
