I don’t even know where to start this one!! Derek is the brother of one of my best friends growing up and I’ve known him since he was little. I was so excited when he reached out to me almost 2 years ago about photographing his & Chelsea’s Colony Club wedding at the end of June! Chelsea is just the sweetest person ever & has the most bubbly personality & we clicked right away! I was so happy to spend their wedding day with them & had been looking forward to it for months!!
On the morning of her wedding, Chelsea’s mom and sweet grandma zipped her into her dress and grandma fluffed her veil & made sure it looked perfect for photos! The bond Chelsea and her grandma shares is so special and I love it when my brides invite their grandma to help them get ready along with mom! It’s always special to have all 3 generations in a photo on the morning of your wedding day!!
Before Chelsea walked down the aisle with her dad, she did a first look with her dad! He teared up seeing his beautiful daughter and Derek teared up as Chelsea walked down the aisle towards him! Their wedding ceremony & speeches at the reception were some of the most emotional ones I’ve seen and there were tears galore with everyone around the room wiping their eyes! Those emotional moments are always some of my favorite moments to capture on the wedding day!!
Chelsea & Derek – thank you so much for trusting me to capture your wedding day for you! I hope you love & cherish these photos for the decades of marriage to come!! All the love and happiness to you both! Much love, Jen. xx
