Kara & Aaron :: Married!

Kara and Aaron were married on a gorgeous, sunny October day. They were both so calm and so happy to be getting married. Kara & Aaron, thanks for your patience. This has been an insanely busy season! Enjoy your preview and slideshow...

Kara and Aaron had so many great fall details & colors throughout their day.





Kara and her mom.





Kara's flowers were gorgeous. Her father was ill and was unable to make the trip from Wisconsin, so Kara wrapped his tie around her bouquet.





Kara and her new mom-in-law share a laugh... doesn't she have an amazing smile? :)









They boys were such studs!





Aaron was a great model :). He was so calm and delighted to marry Kara. We took as many photos as possible before the ceremony, since Kara and Aaron didn't want to see each other beforehand.





Isn't she lovely?









Kara's mom walked her down the aisle. Look at the happy groom!













Together at last!





These two had no problem being affectionate in front of the camera. They are such a beautiful couple.









Wow! Those eyes are amazing.









Just can't beat sun-flare kisses!





The beautiful fall-themed cake. Love those colors!









This was a funny moment. Kara is the queen of lists, schedules and organization. Her bridal party made her burn the schedule! In Kara's defense, their wedding day was absolutely smooth and on schedule. But this was some great comic relief!





Time for the first dance - so sweet!









Aaron's grandparents won the "longest married" contest. I can't remember the exact number, but they have been married somewhere around 60 years... AMAZING, and so wonderful so see a marriage that enduring.





The dance floor was rockin' that night!





I LOVE this shot - such a genuine moment where Aaron made Kara laugh out loud.

And thank you, cute husband Kevin, for backing me up for this wedding. You are fabulous!!

Jenna & Matt :: September 27

As you can see, I'm a bit behind in editing - thank you for your patience, Jenna & Matt!!

September 27 was a beautiful, perfect day for Jenna & Matt's outdoor ceremony at Mill Point Park in Spring Lake. There was so much excitement for the wedding! Without further delay - the preview! You can view the full preview slideshow here.

The "princess" got dressed at her house...





The little girls in the wedding LOVED having their makeup done. So cute!





Jenna was so excited and calm and happy.





It got a little emotional when Jenna's bridesmaids saw her in her dress...





Did I mention that there were SO many cute kids at this wedding? You'll see a lot more of them in the slideshow.









Jenna's mom walked her down the aisle. They have such a bond, and it was an emotional walk!





It was a perfect day to get married! Jenna and Matt had a beautiful ceremony at the park. Their pastor was so kind, the sun was shining, they were surrounded by family and friends, and their love for each other was obvious.









Hot pink! I love it.





Married! What a great moment.





I love how happy a bride & groom look as they walk back down the aisle together...





These glasses certainly make it a lot more interesting to hand out birdseed!





Future brides: I overheard these girls deciding they wanted to know what it felt like to walk down the aisle - so they did it together!





Matt & the guys looking very distinguished...





And the lovely ladies!





Then we took a few photos of the new husband & wife. I just love they looked at each other...









The handsome Matt...





And the lovely Jenna...





A quick stop at the beach for some more pictures. Despite the brilliant sun, we made it work!





Then, on to the reception! This was such a sweet detail. Jenna tied her great-grandmother's watch into her bouquet.





Cake time! The cake was so beautiful.





The first dance...





A few reception details - I've never seen a cake topper quite like this!





A little bit different ring shot - I couldn't resist the wedding conversation hearts!





The happy bride & groom! Jenna & Matt, thanks for letting me be a part of your beautiful day. Hope you enjoy your slideshow!
