Jake and Chelsey's wedding was a beautiful, customized service preformed by Chelsey's cousin.
For those who think a first look will ruin the chance of something magical happening as the bride walks down the aisle, I would like to bring your attention to the beaming smile on Jake's face as Chelsey walked down the aisle to marry him. There is so much emotion and importance in that moment beyond seeing each other. It is the moment that their happily ever after begins. The moment they stand in front of their friends and family, celebrating their love. It is an important moment in and of itself.
After the ceremony, we headed over to Lake MacBride for a few portraits with the happy newlyweds and their bridal party.
I love that their dance was held outside in front of the Palmer House. It was so gorgeous! The evening light was beautiful and the Palmer House was a lovely backdrop.
Being in town, there weren't many options for traditional sunset portraits, but as the sun was just peeking over the rooftops, I pulled Jake and Chelsey to the side of the dance floor for a few portraits with the evening light. Oh my word! So gorgeous!!
"We had amazing weather," I said at the end of the evening after a gorgeous day despite the stormy forecast.
"I've been telling her that for a month, that we'd have perfect weather on our wedding day. I'm just lucky," Jake said as he hugged into Chelsey and turned to her, "I mean, look at her. I'm lucky."
Perhaps the sweetest thing I have ever witnessed!
Congratulations Jake and Chelsey! It was such a joy capturing your beautiful day!!
