A Spring Wedding at Armour House: Catie & Tom

Wedding

 

Catie & Tom got married this past Friday and their whole day was perfect!

From the beautiful sunshine to the stunning grounds we got to explore together, everything came together and I am so, so excited about this sneak peek!

But first, the Top Five Moments/Things from Catie & Tom’s wedding… a Wedding Wednesday Tradition. 🙂

 

#5. Coming in at number 5 would have to be the couples cocktail hour. There were so many things that I loved, but I especially appreciated the fantastic live music from Moeller Music AND the sushi boats for guests to munch on before the reception began.

#4. I also loved getting to see so many of the couple’s college friends! The best part was right after we snagged a large group shot, the IU fight song came on and EVERYONE sang along and danced. Definitely a fun memory.

#3. I have to say. I LOVED getting to go around the grounds of the Armour House. The grounds were truly incredible. Even the inside was stunning. I especially appreciated the grand staircase indoors. We got some really fun shots, including Catie spinning around in her beautiful wedding dress designed by Hayley Paige. You’ll have to scroll to check it out. 😉

#2. This one was totally a first for me! After the reception began, Catie’s Dad came up to give a welcome and a speech. The best part though? He had contacted the designer of Catie’s wedding dress, Hayley Paige, and she recorded a sweet congratulations to share with Catie & Tom on their wedding day! I just love that Catie’s Dad thought of such a unique and thoughtful surprise. 🙂

#1. Finally, number 1 would have to be the couples first look. I just love these and Catie & Tom’s first look was no different. 🙂 The excitement was contagious as Catie walked up to Tom and the time they spent together reading the private vows they had written to each other was perfect. 🙂

 

Caite & Tom, thank you so much for having me! I couldn’t be more excited for you two as you start this next chapter as husband and wife. Now, grab a blanket and snuggle up. Your sneak peek is live!
