With all of the flooding that happened earlier this month, I was worried about Drake and Allison’s day. I saw the closure notice that shut down all traffic to the island. I saw the water slowly rising to the Dousman House and eventually completely surrounding the massive building.

But by some miracle, the Dousman House remained untouched and just two weeks before their wedding day the island was reopened. The water continued to recede. The ground started to dry out. And by Saturday, we were all ready to celebrate Drake and Allison’s day as planned.

Drake and Allison, it was truly such an honor to get to capture your day and spend the day surrounded by your people. There were so many beautiful moments, honestly too many to share, but I hope this small preview helps you relive each of them!
