If you’re worried about crying so hard on your wedding day that you ruin your makeup and photos, or you’re just a sucker for sentimental first looks (like we are)—oh, baby, do we have the photos for you.
Bride Adrienne and groom Khalil just celebrated one year since their Louisville, Kentucky nuptials, which prompted their wedding photographer
Elle Danielle to resurface a stunning, emotional photograph from their special day on Instagram. Snapped during the couple’s first look, the photo shows Khalil with his back to the camera embracing Adrienne, who’s facing the camera with eyes closed. But of all the lovely details in the photo—from Khalil’s crisp, dove gray suit to Adrienne’s braided updo and teardrop earrings—what really gets us (read: what we’re borderline obsessed with) are the tears that mark Adrienne’s cheeks and tell a love story all on their own. Take a look at the touching images from the couple’s first look album below (we suggest you grab a few tissues first…).
Honestly, does it get more heartwarming than that? Nope. We love how Adrienne isn’t the slightest bit concerned about her makeup—she’s so serene, so in love and so not worried about it, reminding us all that foundation fades, but true love lasts forever (
sigh). Happy anniversary to these two!
