wedding

May 19, 2021

Sometimes there are moments that take your breath away… this gorgeous wedding was one of those moments for me. My sweet friends were married on a rainy day at The Belvedere Ballroom wedding venue. Even with the rain, it was an oh so beautiful day with beautiful people supporting their marriage.

My daughter was the flower girl and oh did she feel like a princess that day. She claimed she has wedding best friends now!

I truly love the getting ready pictures. It is just a relaxed time with mom and with the bridesmaids. I love showing off the bride’s gorgeous hair and beautiful make-up! Plus the bridesmaids are oh so cute! What a fun group of ladies.

The time with the bride and mom before the wedding is so special. This bride and mom exchanged notes and gifts and just were able to love on each other before things got hectic.

Bridal portraits are my fave! You might be learning that everything is my fave but I love every aspect because how special they are. But it is the time of the day that the bride gets to feels like a princess! Something that she has been dreaming of her whole life!

First look with the bridesmaids was new to me! But look how much fun it was. They all turned around at the same time to see her beauty and of course they were blown away!

First Look with dad! Oh my as my heart just beats out of my chest. Beautiful and heart touching, as they hugged, cried and share notes.

We don’t forget the groom! Handsome as ever!

First Look with the groom is up next! Don’t mind that your photographer is over here crying behind the lens! Oh how his eyes lit up when he saw her!

Then we have some fun with the bridal portraits! The day was a cold, rainy one, but you would never ever know. I think their love was keeping them warm! Since The Belvedere was so beautiful, I was able to open the barn doors and allow the light from outside in. They stayed dry but the outside light allowed for beautiful portraits that they will cherish for a lifetime.

Groomsmen time! Handsome and oh so fun!

And the bridesmaid! Wow! Really is all I can say! They are seriously stunning!

I’m so in love with this picture. I told the bridesmaid to kiss the groom… and look at the look he gave me! Makes me laugh.

Seriously stunning bride and bridesmaids!

My husband was the minister! This sweet couple are wonderful friends of ours so it is just a hone that we were able to be a part of their day.

So happy! May God bless you today and always!

Such a fun way to dance the night away!
