Church Nuptials and an Intimate Backyard Party

Back in September, Caleigh and Isaac celebrated their love with their close family and friends in their childhood church, followed by an intimate backyard reception. A solo musician serenaded the evening and several emotional toasts and speeches had everyone really feeling the love. Their attention to detail throughout the day was a sight to behold, but the most impressive thing about this day was how calm and cool they both were from the church to the dancefloor. You could really tell that these two are the perfect match. Also, if I were to renew my vows, this would be the dress of my dreams!

It’s always so funny to me when I meet a couple and they tell me how nervous, awkward and camera shy they are. I hear it time and time again and these two were no exception. That being said, these two have such wonderful genuine chemistry which always comes through the photos. I was lucky enough to be able to do their engagement photos first and really establish that comfortability so they could enjoy their day and not really think about the photos being taken and just BE in the moment. You would never know from looking at these that they said those things upon first meeting me – right?

Happy viewing 🙂

Love Like Fireworks – Shelby & Skylar Marry at MacKinnon Brothers Brewing Co.

OK ok ok – I know I have already shared a ton of Shelby and Skylar’s photos on Instagram – but I can’t help that I am OBSESSED! These two have such a special, romantic and seriously HOT love. Like, just look at them! Shelby and her girls got ready at the stunningly beautiful and timeless boutique hotel, the Rosemount Inn. We did not one, not two but four first looks (mom, dad, girls and finally, with Skylar) and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house for any of them. From there, we convoyed to the Mackinnon Brothers Brewery Company in the country where the party started before the ceremony! The sun was out in full effect until the sparklers and fireworks were the only thing lighting things up. By far one of the most fun and romantic weddings I’ve had the privilege of being apart of! I hope you enjoy looking at these photos as much as I did taking them 🙂

With love, Chels
