I know I say this ALL.THE. TIME. but I have the most wonderful couples ever that choose me to document their day. They are all so classic and timeless and joyful and it makes me so happy that I get to spend one of the best days of their lives with them! I swear my brides all also look like they could be models and they make my job so easy! As Katie’s mom helped her get into her beautiful long sleeved (!!!!) lace dress and place her lace adorned cathedral length veil in her hair, I probably told her 50 times how beautiful she looked in her dress. Katie has an air of elegance about her that she carried with her throughout the day. I mean, just look at how graceful she looked getting out of the limo with her dress in her hands and rain pouring down around her below. Katie and Chris were married over Labor Day weekend at the most beautiful and lush outdoor garden ceremony. It downpoured for about thirty minutes before their ceremony, but when it was time for guests to be seated, the skies cleared and the rain stopped. We even had some sunshine during portraits and the beautiful light made the “just married” glow these two had even brighter!
As Katie and her dad walked the stunning tree lined aisle to Chris, he had the biggest smile on his face. One of my favorite parts of their ceremony besides reading the cutest handwritten vows to eat other was the fact that Katie asked Chris if he would accept her final rose. Katie & Chris are both big fans of The Bachelor and love watching it together, so this was Katie’s way of paying homage to one of their favorite things to watch together. Chris accepted it and Katie placed it in his suit pocket before they exchanged rings and were pronounced husband and wife! She also had Taylor Swift’s Begin Again as the instrumental music her bridesmaids walked down the aisle to, so that combined with the Bachelor rose means that we’re basically destined to be bffs now! ;)
Katie & Chris, thank you so much for allowing me to photograph your day! It was a beautiful wedding filled with many laughs and joyful moments and I’m so happy I was able to be by your side documenting it all. Wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness! Much love, Jen. xx
