Intentional wedding moments refer to carefully planned or naturally occurring experiences during a wedding that hold personal significance for the couple. These moments purposefully reflect the couple’s values, relationships, or special traditions. Whether it’s a carefully chosen song or a moment of silence for loved ones, these moments make the wedding day deeply personal and memorable.
Today’s blog shares the beautiful journey of Addison and Justin Tucker’s wedding, filled with intentional moments and cherished memories. On October 12, 2024, we had the privilege of witnessing their special union. Addison and Justin have been together since they were in 7th and 8th grade in school. So basically, they have grown up together. Their families have eagerly awaited this day, warmly welcoming their new, official family with open arms.
The Tucker’s Beautiful Intentional Wedding Experience
We arrived and were immediately greeted by Addison’s two dogs at the honeymoon cabin. They were the sweetest things! After a few moments of petting and laughing, we shifted our focus to the task. Inside the cabin, the atmosphere was calm and cozy, perfect for capturing the early moments of the day. We took a few detail shots—Addison’s delicate wedding jewelry, her shoes, and the beautiful lace of her dress. The sunlight filtered through the windows, creating a soft glow around the items, adding a timeless touch to the photos.
We snapped some getting-ready shots of the girls, and the room was buzzing with laughter and excitement as they made the final touches—hairpins, makeup, and last-minute adjustments. Once they were all set, we headed down to the main barn. We captured detailed photos of the stunning reception and ceremony setups of Tanglewood Landing, taking every beautiful touch.

Their wedding day was a heartfelt celebration, filled with many intentional touches that honored the memory of loved ones no longer present. These carefully planned elements are curated to tell a story and evoke emotion, ensuring the day feels personal and unforgettable. In addition, they presented a rose and a framed photo of the family member to those they were closest to. Thus, it was a touching moment that had tears in every eye.
Their unity ceremony was as unique as their love story. It features a custom brand they used to imprint a cowhide board, beautifully symbolizing their union. Addison had custom leather pieces made using the custom brand—a bouquet holder, a leather garter, and even personalized drinking glasses for their first toast. Every detail reflected their shared passion and individuality, making their wedding truly one of a kind.
