The sun shone in bright blue splendor as these two gathered by the lake on the Durant Nature Preserve and Campbell Lodge to celebrate a serendipitous romance, surrounded by a close-knit group of family and friends.

A Wedding to Remember

From soft floral details, such as lily and rose, to embossed shoes and custom boutonnieres, not one detail was left out for this fall wedding.

 

As the bride got ready off-site, the groom and his crew prepped for portraits with laughs, memories, and some drinks.

What struck me most from this wedding day was the inclusion of loved ones, the admiration towards the couple from this beloved community, and a willingness to be true to themselves and their authentic, beautiful story. With soft white and green florals for the bride's bouquet, burnt sienna details and pops of soft blues throughout the reception space, and the Bride's godmother officiating the ceremony.


There was not one detail that wasn't chosen, curated, and complementary to K & P.


The party started early and didn't stop. Group dancing, sneaky parking lot gatherings, and bumping beats from the DJ made this a party that was going to last all night long. The couple didn't waste a second and stole away to capture the glimmering light of golden hour to close out the story of their epic wedding day.
