Chelsea and John’s wedding at Dunaway Gardens was one that I wish I could shoot over and over again! Their day was filled with so many beautiful details, a gorgeous color pallet, and such heartfelt moments from start to finish! Plus, Chelsea made one Stunning bride! As soon as I pulled into the Gardens on Saturday morning I just knew it was going to be an amazing day! Their venue is filled with so many wandering tree lined paths with stunning places for photos, tons of blooming flowers, and gorgeous views!
Chelsea decided to not do a first look with John, but instead she decided to do one with her dad and it was one of the many times that day that I was tearing up behind the camera! Her dad had no words to describe how stunning she looked and was fighting back all of the tears! Not only were the tears being fought back then, but as he walked his little girl down the aisle both him and John were fighting back the tears once again! ( and I was too! )
As I Iooked around the ceremony I saw so many people smiling and tearing up as these two said their vows to one another! There were so many people there who played such an important role in each of their lives, and they were all so beyond happy to see these two finally getting married!
Their reception also has to be one of my favorites yet!! From a sweet first dance, a father daughter dance that had me crying, a heartfelt dance between John and his sister, then toasts that had me crying again ( for the 5th time! ); I loved every minute of it! Plus, who could forget the amazing Mac N Cheese bar they had! -You have no idea how excited I was when I saw it!!
These two finished up their night by dancing with their friends and having such a blast celebrating the fact that they were finally married!! As the night came to an end they ran through the tunnel of sparklers to their getaway car with friends and family cheering for them!
Chelsea and John, thank you so much for allowing me to be a part of your amazing wedding day! Words can’t even describe how much I loved getting to celebrate with you and your families!!
