In the middle of their rehearsal dinner, we slipped away for a few quiet minutes downtown. Just Mallory, Eric, and the kind of anticipation that only comes the night before you say I do.

Mallory wore her mom’s wedding dress—altered to fit her perfectly and made her own. There’s something so special about carrying a piece of family history into this new chapter, blending old and new into something unforgettable.
