A Summer Wedding at Hyatt Lodge: Sarah & Grady

Wedding

 

Sarah & Grady got married this past weekend and their wedding day was truly perfect! From the sweetest flower girls, fun fanny packs to their packed dance floor and all the guys with ties around their heads. This wedding is one we’ll not soon forget. 🙂

While there were many great moments throughout the day, I wanted to share just the top five. A Wedding Wednesday tradition. 🙂

 

#5. The couples first dance. I LOVE when couples choreograph their dance. 🙂 It’s so special to see it all come together on their wedding day and I just love the shots we were able to get.

#4. Sarah & Grady’s ceremony exit! These two choose to have rose petals for their guests to throw as they walked back down the aisle and it was truly beautiful! You’ll have to scroll to see what I mean. 😉

Pro Tip: Make sure guests wait to throw their petals till the Bride & Groom are right by them!

#3. Photos getting ready with Grady and the guys in the morning. Specifically, when they all took a shot of Malort. This was a first for some of the guys and their faces were pretty entertaining. 😀

#2. The fun triplet things throughout the day. I love that we got to re-create a couple of fun shots, the sweet speech that David and Michael did together and I LOVED that Sarah’s brothers helped to bustle her wedding dress. 🙂 These three truly have a special relationship and getting to capture that was so fun!

#1. When Grady saw Sarah for the first time as she walked down the aisle. This moment always gets me. There was so much excitement and anticipation. When Grady finally saw Sarah, his smile was priceless.

 

Sarah & Grady, thank you so much for having me! Your wedding day was truly beautiful and I’m so grateful we got to be there to capture it. 🙂

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