The Moncurs, married 10 years ago, wanted to renew their vows with the family they had built together. Next to a bridge with a beautiful view of Oquirrh Lake at Day Break, I was so excited to be a part of such an important part of their life. It was absolutely stunning.
For the service, they only had their kids in attendance, one of whom acted as their officiant. As a spectator to the event, to see their son officiate was such a sweet touch to the whole experience. I loved seeing this because I found the children felt invested in the experience, and what better than to have your children a part of your commitment to your spouse and family. The kids made promises to their parents and to the family also as a part of the ceremony.
There are so many ways you can renew your vows and this was just an example of how they made it unique to them. They had a rose jar where they put their vows after they made their promises, which provides another symbolic and lasting representation they can remember forever.
It truly was such an intimate experience, and I was honored to capture them as they committed themselves once again to one another. They gave gifts to the kids at the ceremony, said a few things to one another, and made their promises. I am so honored that this is my job and grateful for the beautiful memories.
