This wedding is full of so many fantastic elements: love (of course), darling details, phenomenal photos, sizzling style, and one well thought out soundtrack. Luckily Hannah loved to talk about music, because she said it best when it came to picking their songs:

Our wedding was obviously pretty music heavy, because Chris and I run our own music licensing company….so all day long we’re thinking about the right choice song for the right moment! It felt like for each moment we had to really pick the PERFECT SONG. It helped that when we first started to date, we lived across the country from each other, and would regularly send each other songs via email–sometimes it was a direct message to the other person, and sometimes it was just a new song we were enjoying. It was all on one email chain that was called “The Neverending Mixtape”. Because you know when you like someone, you make them a mixtape. Well, not only did we “like” each other, we also wanted our mixtape to be never ending. So we each have a collection of songs we sent each other over the course of our relationship, and a lot of those were used in our wedding.

Some of the songs were independently picked by Chris, the music licensing professional! The song I walked down the aisle to (“Astral Weeks”) I had never heard before he played it for me, wondering if we should use that in the wedding. I thought it sounded crazy to use a song I’d never heard before to walk down the aisle, but now I am so glad! There has never been a time I heard that song without thinking of marrying Chris, and now there will never be!
