I was SO eager and THRILLED to be photographing Laura and Colin’s wedding this past Saturday at 317 on Rice Park! :) Laura was GORGEOUS, Colin was sweet, the wedding party was AWESOME and the venue was to die for (many thanks to Melissa from Sadies Floral for that amazing transformation)! :)
While the newlyweds are enjoying their time in tropical Mexico, I thought I’d share just a few images! :)
A PERFECT Friday in October…these two were beyond amazing to be with for an entire day! :) Not only was their wedding party fabulous, the decor stunning and their families so happy…but Brooke and Jay were simply joyful all day! :) It was as if they had been waiting their entire life for a day to be married and start a life with their best friend!!! Their beautiful connection kept us smiling all day long! :)
I wish every weekend could be filled with Brooke’s and Jay’s! :)
OH—and a HUGE thank you to Ruffled, who fell just as much in love with Brooke and Jay as we did and featured their wedding last month! Wahoo! :)

Ok…so I admit, I am a little behind on blogging some of the most gorgeous weddings that I photographed this past fall! :) Whoops….Christmas, New Years and then traveling got in the way of sharing. Sorry friends!
I knew from the MOMENT I met with Bre, there was something so special about Bre and Cory’s relationship! As we sat, chatting about their wedding plans, sipping coffee together, every time his name came up, her face would light up! You could instantly tell that there were more than college sweethearts and really, truly shared their lives together! :) Their wedding day was full of stories from friends and family about playing hockey together, growing up and sharing in special trips as families! The truth is that they were bonded before the big day even came…emotions were high and people were so joyful to see two kindred souls unite and officially start their marriage together! :)
It was a perfectly crisp, October day at the Enchanted barn and the night was…well…enchanting to say the least! Greens, browns, and other natural colors graced the already simple beauty of the barn, a horse drawn carriage (something Bre had dreamed about as a kid) was waiting after they said their vows, personal speeches left the entire barn in both roars of laughter and tears and (my favorite) was when everyone came outside to, in unison, light and send off wishing, Chinese lanterns while the happy couple stood around and watched their friends and family giggle and enjoy the late night! :) It was perfect! :)
