Kelsey + Jake = Married!

We photographed this sweet couple’s wedding & reception at the Mavris and we had so much fun with them that day! I just adore them…not only are they super cute together but they were both so much fun and up for anything when it came to getting great photos!! 🙂 Her dress was gorgeous and I LOVED her bridal tennis shoes with custom laces, how cute is that?! Their flowers were STUNNING that day, I couldn’t get over how gorgeous they looked. Plus, I was so excited to shoot at the brand new butterfly art wall across from the Alexander, I knew those pics would be so much fun and canvas-worthy for sure!

After we took some outdoor photos, we headed inside for photos in the Alexander’s art gallery, lobby & bar area. It’s such a fun, unique & artistic hotel that is PERFECT for indoor photo shoots!! After we finished up there, we headed down to Mavris and outran the rain for some more photos under the bridge & in the courtyard before we headed inside for family photos. Their private ceremony was so sweet and I loved that they wrote their own vows to each other! I loved all of their gorgeous reception details too…the dog cake topper, dog cut outs, flowers, uplighting & cake were beautiful! Once the dancing started, we sneaked them away for some end of night shots around Mavris that turned out awesome! Thanks for a great time you guys! More pics coming soon!

In their words…

1. How did he propose? “I had a feeling Jake was going to propose when he told me not to make plans because he made dinner reservations. I was not expecting to come home from work that day to rose petals leading upstairs to our living room! He had blacked out all of the windows with special fabric so that the little tea lights he got would light the way with the petals. When I got to the top of the stairs, he was waiting with the ring, champagne, and candles that spelled out “Marry me.” I found out later that he took the day off to get the house ready even though he had “left for work” before me that morning and texted me during the day as if he was there.”  

2.      What was your favorite wedding moment? “We had a private ceremony and I really felt the love between us as we read our own vows to each other. I didn’t expect to feel so emotional but the ceremony felt personal and perfect.” 

3.      What was his favorite wedding moment? “Standing up in front of close friends and family and looking into Kelsey’s eyes as we said our vows was something that I will never forget.” (awwww) 🙂

4.      What was the funniest wedding moment? “When the night got a little later, guests enjoyed dancing with the cardboard cut-outs of our dogs and posing for pictures with them!” 

5.      What was your first dance song? “All of Me” by Jasmine Thompson (John Legend cover)

6.      What advice would you give to future couples? “Don’t sweat the small stuff because it’s about the big picture, not the tiny details. Make your ceremony personal and write your own vows. Make sure you hire great vendors because it makes a difference! We recorded the ceremony on an iPhone with a tripod I got off of Amazon and it was cost effective and priceless to have! Also… our cardboard cut-outs of our dogs that I ordered from Etsy were a big hit!”

7.      Where did you go on your honeymoon? “Puerto Vallarta, Mexico! We left the next morning and it was so relaxing and beautiful.”
