Blake + Stephanie {Wedding: Part 2}
Blake and Stephanie's ceremony was beautiful.
"We were most excited to see all of our friends and family gather in one place and to marry each other!" - Stephanie
As they exited the church, they saw their tractors pulling up with wagons to take the bridal party to their next stop.
When asked what made their day extra special, they replied, "Everyone who traveled to be there on our wedding day made it extra special. We were also able to incorporate memories and family keepsakes like Blake's grandfather's toolbox that we got restored and used as a card box and our tractors that were used to transport the wedding party."
Love their boots so much!
Love the card box! As Stephanie said before, it was Blake's grandfather's toolbox. Such a beautiful heirloom and a great personal touch.
Another great personal touch were the miniature versions of their tractors. I had so much fun using them for ring shots!!
The speeches were beautiful and funny. The love their bridal party, friends and family alike, have for Blake and Stephanie was very clear.
Blake and Stephanie chose to have dueling pianos as their music for the evening. They were fantastic!
At the end of the evening, storm clouds rolled in and we were able to capture a few after-dark rain portraits. I love how they turned out!
Blake and Stephanie's advice to everyone planning a wedding, "Have fun and think about the big picture. We met couples early in our engagement who when asked what they were most excited about for their wedding answered "for it all to be over with". Our goal was to not get to that point and focus on how great the day was going to be. O, and get a wedding planner she allowed us to meet that goal!"
