A Fall Wedding at The Hyatt Lodge: Stephanie & Justin

post filed in:

Wedding

Getting to capture Stephanie & Justin’s wedding this past weekend was truly special. Not only did we get to catch up with this sweet couple, but we also got to see Watson Bride, Tiana and one of our past Bridesmaids, Sam!

While there were many sweet parts of Stephanie & Justin’s wedding day, I wanted to share just three that come to mind. A Wedding Wednesday tradition. : )

#3. The BALLOONS! Wowza! This was so much fun! As soon as we arrived, I could see how much the Bridesmaids love Stephanie. The whole suite had balloons in it! Super festive and totally perfect to celebrate Stephanie before she said, “I do.”

#2. Getting to do Sparkler photos with Stephanie & Justin! These two went all out and got the perfect sparklers. They were able to run through three times which meant lots of different fun shots. : )

#1. Stephanie’s stunning dress and Justin’s face when he first saw her. Paired with her sister’s wedding veil it was truly elegant and when Justin saw her walk down the aisle… I think his face says it all. ; )

Stephanie & Justin thank you again for having us. : ) Now, grab a blanket and snuggle up. Your sneak peek is live!
