“we will have hope, we will have doubt
there will be memories we could never live without
we will have tears, but there will be grace
there will be prayers we never thought we’d pray
amen… amen”
– dave barnes
when i walked in and the first thing i see are those blush and gold dresses lined up next to christine’s gown?! i knew it was going to be a goooooood day :)
how adorable are her shoes?! one of my favorite details of their day!
christine was one of the most organized brides i’ve ever worked with, and truly thought of every tiny little detail! her personal touch was on every aspect of their day! she had custom cookies made for her bridesmaids, and she surprised antonyous with his favorite donuts!
the guys were equal parts thrilled about their donut & coke treat, and terrified they would get something on their nice clean suits! ;)
she had fun surprises for everyone!
doesn’t she have the most beautiful smile?! :)
a few sweet moments from their first look:
my favorite portrait from their day :)
these guys were alllll kinds of fun! :)
they each had chalkboards that said how they met christine:
… and then the other version ;)
i love love LOVED how all of their dresses came together!
and then it was time to head to the church!
they had their reception at my most favorite venue, shadow creek! and it’s never looked lovelier!
they had a cake table set up with a big handful of smaller cakes, so there was a flavor for everyone!
love this photo of christine and her dad:
a few special ladies in their lives made all of the cookies as favors for their guests! i was able to sample a couple, and i can testify that they were SO very yummy!
do you remember these two?! chris and claudia will always hold a very special place in my heart :) i still send their gorgeous 2012 wedding out as a sample to every new client inquiry i receive! it was such a fun treat to get to hug them both!
and of course, these next two are always my most favorite from the whole day :) i’m so thankful for the couples that invite katie and i into these special occasions!
