Avery & Christian’s wedding was a perfect way to start 2018. I was super eager to get back to shooting because this was my first wedding of 2018. The weather was a pleasant surprise in January. Christian & Avery have been together since high-school. Christian first laid eyes on Avery during 8th-grade graduation, and they have been together ever since. Both are such a cute young hilarious couple. These two know how to have fun.

Christian was filled with excitement all day long. As soon as I arrived at Christian’s parents, he was dancing around with excitement! He was super anxious to have his first look with his gorgeous bride. As I was gathering his stuff for details, his mom showed me his custom suit that had his wedding date embroidered on the inside of his jacket. It’s a tradition he got from his father when he got married. This detail was probably one of my favorite details of the wedding. There were so many lovely wedding details it’s hard not to write on and on. When I got to Avery’s parent’s house Avery looked gorgeous just as her makeup was getting finished up. She looks like an angel. She was absolutely stunning. Avery’s mom is too cute. I loved her face even before I meet her. They are both blessed to have such awesome parents. I could see the excitement and love in all the parent’s faces. Everyone was so excited for these two. We headed over to the Riverlakes golf course for Avery & Christian to enjoy their first look. Christian was overjoyed with tears as he saw Avery in her dress for the first time. It was PRECIOUS!!!!!!! We had so much fun during their portrait time. Christian and Avery have very respectful friends that love to have fun. They were very respectful and just as excited as Avery & Christian. The ceremony was perfect as the sun shined high above, they said their vows. Avery’s grandfather started the ceremony with wise words for the newlyweds. His words were powerful. Avery & Christian listened carefully as he poured his love into the two of them. Another one of my favorite moments was during the toast. Her brother’s speech was beautiful and heartfelt. My brother and I are very close as well, so this totally hit home for me. It was sooooo CUTE! Their wedding was just as cute as I knew it would be. Everyone did such a great job when planning and preparing for this day. Great job!!!!

Christian & Avery thank you for allowing me to join you on your wedding day. I had tons of fun and I love your personalities. Congratulations!!!! You are finally MARRIED!!!! Yayyy!!! Enjoy this new adventure in your lives. I love your faces and ALL your families too.

Enjoy these beauties from their wedding!!!!

3 Reason for a first look-

-You get 40% more images because you have more time to shoot bride & groom portraits

-It’s more relaxing because after family formals you can greet guest and mingle during cocktail hour

-It is an intimate moment between you and your love before the ceremony & party begins
