so, i’m sure this {lovely} couple looks familiar, right?! their engagement session was the hiking shoot with that {darling} love tent {smile}!
we {heart} these two! they are so {head-over-heels} in love! it makes our job easy! so, i figured i’d start with one of my favorite images….
i {loooooooove} vintage rings! why would anyone want the same ‘ole ring every other girl in the world has, right? i’m not about the ‘bling’…just the aesthetic. and, it sure saves money, girls!! if you’re in town….check out {gilt} off of nw 23rd! isn’t elizabeth’s ring {swoon-worthy}? it’s that one right there↓ {smile}!
elizabeth’s grandmother lent her that pearl necklace…so {lovely}.
bet you’d never guess that elizabeth was sick, would you?! bless her heart! and her {stephen} doted on her like a proper husband even before they said {i do}! it was the most touching thing to watch! and…i must say, she simply {glowed} when he was around!
if you’re totally {swooning} over that side-veil….then you must know that her incredibly talented sister made that for her!!! sooooo {lovely}!
↑ what girl doesn’t love to {twirl} in her wedding dress, right?!
↑ absolutely in {love} with that running shot!!!
↑ when i was editing that image on the above left, i noticed that the leaves in the bokeh made a perfect heart above them….so, i decided to get a little creative…i kind of {love} it! {smile} what do you think?!
elizabeth’s sister also took care of her flowers and bouquets! i, for one, was totally impressed! if you want her name and contact information, you ladies who are planning weddings right now, just let me know!!! she worked some vintage magic with her flower arrangements!!! and…i {love} the feather in the boutonniere! ↓
good-looking group of men, eh?? {smile}! this one ↓ is my {favvvvvvvvorite}!!!!
these ladies all look like models! ah!!! {gorgeous}!
again…the masterpieces you’ll see at the reception including decor, style, and arrangement were courtesy of elizabeth’s sister again! sheesh!! she’s amazing, right?! i’d {love} to work with her in the future! in any case, i was totally in love with their {theme}…a country vintage ho-down reception!! oh.my.goodness! all the bluegrass music playing was either on my ipod on in my itunes wishlist! {smile}! i’m just that type of girl! they had corndogs, popcorn, and other autumn treats for their guests to eat! and….it was {so} interesting to see, but nearly {all} of her guests were in {ho-down} clothes…flannel, plaid, jeans, braids, soooooo cute!
also, they’re a bit of an artsy couple, so they gave their guests all the opportunity to draw and color on their tables! the guests were clever and wrote on sweet messages, or drew pictures for them with well-wishes on the side….even the kids got involved! and….my favorite part is that they toasted with {doughnuts}! not just any kind of doughnuts….some sort of {so-delicious-that-my-face-almost-fell-off-kind-of-delicious-doughnut}!!!! the bride and groom played this game (which i’ve never seen before….kudos for making your wedding your own, libby & stephen…when your photographer is inspired, you’ll always get amazing shots!) where they couldn’t use their hands, but had to see who could finish eating their doughnut first! {so} fun to watch!! kind of like bobbing for apples, but different {smile}! stephen won {smile}! they were so playful and sweet!! and, then the wedding party did the same thing! {love} those photographs!!
okay…enough about me raving…you’ll {love} this wedding for sure!!
okay…had to stop you again {smile}! but, seriously….{love} that they decorated with family-owned vintage quilts all over their reception hall….and did you notice those pies!? they had a silent pie auction that would go towards their honeymoon! how creative, right?! i {love} that idea!
absolutely {dying-with-love} over this garland!! it was made with the fabric squares you see on a ring at a furniture store! i believe her sister picked up some of their old, outdated styles, and just folded them over twine!! how clever that girl is!! i love, love, love it!
that little {dear}, and her father were {sooooo} sweet! couldn’t help myself but post this photograph in the lineup of all the other amazing wedding photographs! i just love it that much!! that little baby stole my heart a bit! {smile}!
and, it wouldn’t be a country vintage ho-down kind of wedding if they didn’t do a ho-down, right?! {smile}! they had someone come and teach the guests to do a traditional ho-down; kind of like a type of square-dance! {sooooooo} much fun!
if you {need} to see more from this wedding {smile}, then head over to our website soon, and check out their entire {recent} session, and for all you that are family and friends of libby & stephen, you can view and purchase prints from the {proofing gallery} section! the password is the married last name of this {darling} couple!
