After the wedding at the Mesa Temple, we had a few quiet moments to record the first family pictures of Clint and Haylee before the reception started. There was a peaceful calm between them. I asked Haylee how she slept the night before. She said she was restless and anxious and did not sleep much. I then asked Clint. He remarked that he’d gotten over 7 hours of peaceful sleep. Haylee was a little offended by that, at first. I had to laugh.
She felt that this was the most important day of their lives, how could he sleep? There was so much to worry about going right this day. But to him, this was the most important day of their lives and he was marrying the right girl at the right time in the right place, with the reception held at The Wright House, by the way. Why would he have anything other than a contented night’s sleep? Once again that calm feeling settled as they strolled the quaint walkways of the garden and enjoyed the blissful beauty of their first day.
Thank you Clint and Haylee for allowing me to be a part of your precious day. It is an honor to have been there watching the two of you and your dear families that love and adore you.
