A Summer Wedding at the Hyatt Lodge- Emily & Sarud

Wow! What an incredibly fun wedding day! Emily & Sarud got married this past Saturday at the Hyatt Lodge, and I don’t think there was a dull moment. From getting ready in the morning, to the anticipation leading up to their ceremony, to a PACKED dance floor that evening, you could tell this was a day everyone had been looking forward to for a long time. Their family and friends showed up ready to celebrate these two, and it was so much fun to be part of it!

There were so many incredible moments throughout their day, but in true Wedding Wednesday tradition, I wanted to share three of my favorites. : )

#3. The Ceremony Readings

I loved the readings Emily & Sarud chose for their ceremony. They felt like such a sweet and fun reflection of who these two are, what matters most to them, and the love they share. They were personal, meaningful, and such a special way to make their ceremony feel like them. : )

#2. Emily’s Surprise Dance with Her Mom

This was SO sweet! Emily surprised her mom with a dance during the reception, and you could immediately see how much it meant to both of them. Wedding days move quickly, and I loved that these two got to have this little moment together in the middle of it all. Truly special. : )

#1. THAT DANCE FLOOR!

WOW. Emily & Sarud and their friends came ready to DANCE! Their dance floor was absolutely packed, and the energy was incredible. Seeing these two right in the middle of it all, surrounded by so many of their favorite people celebrating this new chapter with them, was the perfect way to end such a fun day!
