There is nothing we love more than showing up at a wedding day and feeling like we’re walking straight into a family reunion! And that’s exactly what happened when we stepped into the bridal suite at Nazareth Hall! ALL of the girls that were in Katie’s wedding? Well, you might recognize the matron of honor Amanda from a fabulous wedding we did last year…yep. We met everyone when they were all in her wedding last year. Including Katie!
So when Katie contacted us about doing her wedding we were MORE than thrilled. There was only one teeny tiny hang up. She wasn’t engaged yet. 😉 She knew it was coming soon though, so she was trying to get all of her ducks in a row, because we swear…brides are booking earlier and earlier every year! Much to our surprise Jay called us just a few short days later, told us EXACTLY when he was proposing (which we of course reminded Katie of a few times :p), and gathered up our available dates in the fall. We have to be honest you guys, it made us feel REALLY special.
And everything just turned out beautifully! We’re not entirely too sure we’ve ever been to such an emotional wedding before…and this is coming from us. Seriously. Stephanie cries at every wedding. But there was just so much joy and love inside of everyone, that it literally came spilling right out of their eyeballs.
Congrats Jay & Katie! We hope you are just having a BLAST on your honeymoon right now! We can’t wait to see you two again!
Katie wanted to have a special moment with her mom while getting ready, but her girls were all waiting outside with baited breath just ITCHING to finally see her in her dress! So sweet!
Her mom’s veil and her grandma’s stole…such incredible elements to include!
And now onto one of our favorite parts…the first time they see each other!
Best. Reaction. Ever.
The way they hold hands is adorable!
Finally got to see dad before the big walk down the aisle!
And no wedding is complete without a little family reunification. 😉
And THIS is what happens when we have extra time leftover after family portraits. Lol! Normal.
And of course we had to get one with Scott & Amanda too!
