IN Weddings

Last week I promised I would share photos from our wedding.  I did not forget, I’m just a little behind in my posting!  Before I get to the photos I just want to say how important I think it is to have a professional photographer.  I’m still coming to terms with just how fast our wedding day went by.  Although I have the best memories of my life, without the photos to show for it, I would feel like I had nothing.  The great thing about wedding photographers is, there are so many out there, each with their own unique style, that if you find the one that you really click with they will photograph your day exactly as you remember it.  That’s exactly what we got from Jenna & Matt.  Their images are exactly the same as the mental images I have in my head.  They captured all the intimate moments and little details that perfectly represent our day.  Now I can look back at our images and relive our wedding any day I want.  That, to me, is priceless.  

Liz, of Fleur de Liz, made my amazing bouquet.

I loved my shoes that I found at Dilliard’s.  They were cute and comfortable!

Our ceremony was at Dedisse Park here in Evergreen.  It was exactly what we wanted, casual, secluded and in the middle of un-touched nature.

This image will be huge in my album!  There will never be another moment in my life that will compare to my dad walking me down the aisle to my future husband.  I just love this!

The great thing about having a standing ceremony was that everyone was ready for a group shot as soon as the ceremony ended!

Evergreen Lake House was perfect for our reception.  Everyone loved it!

It was really important to us that our flowers did not get thrown away at the end of the night.  I bought a ton of clay pots from Michael’s and Mark’s mom helped me plant flowers the day before the wedding.  All our local guests got to take one home with them.

I really wanted to do something super cute for our place cards but something was bound to get cut with so much on my plate.  I was running out of time and energy so instead I just created this seating assignment in photoshop.

Next to the seating assignment was this, a small tribute to all our family and friends.  We were so thankful to all of them for traveling so far to celebrate with us.

Jenna & Matt captured so many awesome moments.  I love this one of our nieces and nephews.

This is a view of Evergreen Lake House from a distance along with a shot of the view from the lake house deck.

The inside of Evergreen Lake House is just as gorgeous as the outside.

I decided a long time ago that I did not want a traditional guest book, instead I wanted a guest book filled with black and white portraits of all our guests.  We created a little mini studio inside our reception and went home with over 600 fabulous photos of our guests.
