A Summer Wedding at Soulful Prairies: Laura & Dan

post filed in:

Wedding

 

Laura & Dan got married just last Saturday and it was truly a wedding to remember. 🙂 I’m so honored I got to be there and I’m really excited about this sneak peek! There were so many sweet moments and unique details put together for this wedding. However, in true Watson Wedding tradition, I’ll share just five of the top things that come to mind. 🙂

 

#5. The beautiful details. Searched for, hand picked and planned out with care. 🙂

Laura and her sister Melissa spent hours searching antique shops, finding the perfect vases, platters, and golden animal figurines to use as centerpieces. Beautiful pieces I never would have thought together, but somehow with their care, turned into something beautiful. You’ll have to scroll to see what I mean. 😉

#4. Custom Bats for the groomsmen! This was such a fun and unique gift. We definitely worked them into a few shots.

#3. The music during cocktail hour. Huge vinyl fans, Laura & Dan made their cocktail hour uniquely them by having all the music at cocktail hour played from vinyl records!

#2. Going around the grounds with Laura & Dan. Soulful Prairies is stunning! I’m so grateful we budgeted the time to go around and really capture the essence of the grounds they love and the love Laura & Dan share. 🙂 The best part, going toward the stables where Cocktail hour was and getting some incredible shots with some of Soulful Prairies horses!

#1. The first look between Laura & Dan. When Dan turned around to see Laura for the first time, he was genuinely speechless. The perfect moment to be shared between a Bride & Groom on their wedding day. 🙂

 

Laura & Dan, thank you so much for having me. Your day was truly beautiful and I’m so excited for you to start this next chapter as husband and wife. 🙂

Now, grab a blanket and snuggle up. Your sneak peek is live!
