It seems like eons ago that I shot Anne and Jay’s g-g-g-gorgeous wedding. In reality it was only weeks ago…but I suppose that’s how summer goes up here in Practically Canada. We wait for it all year long, then before we know it it’s practically fall again.
But, today’s post is far too warm and sunny to spend our time talking about dropping temps. So instead, let me tell you what an immense privilege it was for me to be a part of this big day. There is nothing that delights my heart more than watching two people who love Jesus, commit to one another in marriage. I love weddings that put Christ at the center–it’s such a beautiful picture. A miniature, mortal diorama of the love Christ has for His church and the love and submission we are called to give Him.
Anne and Jay’s big day was beautiful on all the levels a day can be: spiritually God-honoring, picture perfect weather, DIY decor that will make Pinners drool, delectable home-cooked food, beautiful singing, and a crowd of friends and family that filled the dance floor. Now, without any more chit-chat…let’s relive the day.
If I did my wedding all over again…I’d do a first look. It’s so special for the bride and groom to have a few minutes together alone before the craziness sets in. {Well–alone except for a creepy photographer standing off to the side…} Anne and Jay exchanged some meaningful gifts during these moments and their sincere reactions are really what the Art of the Moment is all about.
This ring bearer…he’s too much. He’s just. so. cute!! You might even recognize him from last winters Christmas mini sessions…
Oh, did I mention that Jay sang a song to Anne during the ceremony? Yeah, he did. This couple is just that precious.
Now. If you are into crafts, DIY and all things awesome…take a moment to go to the bathroom right now. If you don’t, I’m afraid you’ll wet yourselves with giddy excitement when you see the adorable reception details that Anne coordinated and crafted {along with help from friends and family}. Okay? Scroll down…but don’t say I didn’t warn you.
Chalk board signs. A cookie bar. A COOKIE BAR!! A pop corn bar. One of the cutest photobooths I’ve ever laid eyes on. Gorgeous graphic printables. An awesome kids area. Cupcakes galore. Ball jars. Wholesale roses in DIY arrangements. {Read…they did their own floral!} Color me impressed. This was a seriously gorgeous fete.
I only post my favorite favorite images here in the preview…so I love all of these–but I really, really love those shots from the father-daughter dance. What a moment.
Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Borseth. I’m so very honored to have spent the day with you and your amazing families. Your images are all done and will be in the mail to you tomorrow!!
