Brie and Michael included soooo many fun elements in their summer wedding day! It was clear that their four legged friends were as important as the friends filling the chairs and the dance floor. The morning was sunny and the temperature just right at Hurds Tree Farm. Groom Michael and his best man were there early helping Celebration Boulevard complete all the finishing touches. Watching them hang the photos on the photo wall was fun as we listened to them reminisce about times reflected in those photos.

 

A wire wall with photos clipped to it randomly show moments of the bride and groom's relationship.

The First Look is such a beautiful time for the couple to connect before the festivities of the day really take off. You could just feel the connection these two have. Moonstone Images captured the sweet moments and all the fun!

The wedding party was just as enthusiastic about the upcoming union. Can’t you tell? Moonstone Images captured the fun and love from beginning to end! Country Living Florist created stunning bouquets for the wedding party and the personal flowers for the family were exquisite, as always.

The guests were transported from the parking area in a trailer, so the party started before well before being seated for the ceremony. Brie approached the guests on her beloved horse and finished her walk down the aisle with her father. The first kiss brought cheers from the 200 guests and then on to a shot of the entire group of guests.

The cocktail hour food, dinner, and the tasty cake were all created and served by the team @FoxiKeane. Guests visited while eating and signing the Engagement Photo Guest Book. @MoonstoneImages provided the framed photo and it will make a beautiful addition to the couple’s home.

There is often speculation around the cake cutting…..will they or won’t they? The looks on Michael and Brie’s faces were priceless. And then it happened!

We kept to our timeline and moved to the dance floor. Debbie Weist of Dance with Debbie helped the couple execute a lively and beautiful dance!

And then the party really took off…bouquet toss and a very creative garter toss! Michael wasn’t taking any chances that the garter would hit the floor before making it to the guys. When he pulled the garter out, it was wrapped around a football!
