A Summer Wedding at Seven Bridges Golf Club: Kristin & Jesse

Wedding

 

Kristin & Jesse, thank you so much for having us as your wedding photography team. We loved getting to hang with y’all and celebrate you two becoming one. 🙂

I’m also really excited about this sneak peek! But first, the Top Five Moments/Things from your wedding…

 

#5. While the ladies were still getting ready at the salon, Blake and I started detail photos at the hotel. Just a few minutes later, Kristin walked into the room and I could tell right away she was as surprised as we had been. 😀

You see, there were actually FOUR wedding dresses hanging around the suite! Both of her Grandmother’s dresses and her Moms. It was the perfect surprise, put together by her sister Kendra and a couple other family members. A few tears were shed…

#4. Kristin’s parents. 🙂 Jumping to the reception, Kristin’s Dad was saying thank you to everyone for coming out and then made a point of thanking his wife, the “love of his life.” The guests went wild, chimed their glasses and Stephanie & Bob kissed. It. Was. Perfect.

#3. We had just finished up family photos and were headed outside for some shots in front of the chapel. As we stepped outside, the sun was shinning and it was raining!?!

No worries though! Keenan, the best man, ran up, umbrella in hand and saved the day for the Bride in Groom. 😀 The good news is the rain only lasted a few minutes, cut down the humidity by a lot and we got to keep shooting in the sun. 😀

#2. Ike & Oak. We actually had a little extra time on Kristin & Jesse’s wedding day so we headed over to the bar next door to Seven Bridges, the bridal party grabbed a beer and we snuck in a few extra photos. 🙂

#1. Sunset photos with the Bride & Groom. These are always a lot of fun for me, but these were especially fun because the light was perfect and we got to go to a whole new location at Seven Bridges. Kristin & Jesse, thanks for being game!

 

Kristin & Jesse, THANK YOU again for having us! Your wedding day was truly beautiful. 🙂 Now, grab a blanket and snuggle up. Your sneak peek is live!
