BT Bride - Addison Funk

Addison and Zachary Funk’s love story began simply with a FaceTime introduction from Zach’s brother. These are modern love stories, ya'll! What followed was an easy first dinner date, a sense of familiarity that surprised them both, and a relationship built steadily over time. Two years later, Zach proposed at the same place they attended their first prom together, bringing their story beautifully full circle. 

Married in August 2025 at Mt. Pisgah Baptist Church, Addison describes their journey as one shaped by “surprises, grief, loss, and love,” but always grounded in prayer and deep commitment.

One of Addison’s favorite memories from the wedding day perfectly captures her spirit. During bridal portraits, her heels sank into wet grass and were quickly ruined—making them impossible to wear down the aisle. Without missing a beat, she slipped on Birkenstocks and carried on. After the ceremony, when she told Zach what had happened, his response said it all: he loved her ability to make the best of any situation—and reminded her he would’ve married her in a potato sack. Well played, Zach.

Addison found her gown at Bridal Traditions and stayed true to her original vision, making just a few thoughtful enhancements. She added a beaded belt for a touch of extra sparkle and adjusted the straps for the perfect fit, but otherwise felt the dress was exactly what she wanted. Her favorite details were the gown’s romantic bodice and shimmering straps, which added just the right amount of glow without overpowering the look.

To complete her ensemble, Addison also chose jewelry from Bridal Traditions, tying everything together with effortless elegance. Photographed by Abby Degroat of Abigail Rose Photography and Sherry Clodfelter of Wandering Pilgram Photography, her wedding day reflected what mattered most—love, grace, and the beauty of embracing every moment exactly as it comes.
