Kristen and Lawrence's wedding was held at the gorgeous Celebration Farm, with the ceremony and reception both held in the Timber Frame barn. Decorated with lights (by Travis at Unique Events) and yellow flowers, this rustic but elegant wedding couldn't have been more lovely!

Kristen, as you can see, was stunning in her customized ball gown and long veil which she paired with cowboy boots similar to her bridesmaids as a nod to the barn setting. Lawrence looked handsome as well in his grey suit with turquoise accessories, and I love the way he looks at Kristen like she's the only woman in the entire world.

We had some incredibly beautiful weather, and the day began with the two exchanging handwritten letters they wrote on either side of the barn walls so that they wouldn't see each other prior to the ceremony. Later, we were able to take advantage of the beautiful light at sunset.

Thanks to Kristen and Lawrence for choosing us to document their day - it was so fun getting to know you both and we wish you all of the happiness in the world. Congratulations!

HUGE thank you to Amanda from Memories in the Making Event Planning & Design for all of her help!! She came to assist me as she is learning how various types of vendors run their business on a wedding day which will help her become an even better event planner. So genius, and we appreciated all she did that day!! xo

The photo on the right is probably one of my favorites from the entire year. I think I did a happy dance after I took it. ;)

This session was Coelle's 9th practice session and her first without me present! I was feeling under the weather, so Josh went and acted as "instructor" in my place. I am sad I missed seeing Andrea and Jake, but I am so proud of both Coelle and Josh for doing a fabulous job without me.

Andrea and Jake are expecting their first little one (a boy) in September, and I couldn't be more thrilled for these two. Andrea and I have been friends for a couple of years now and I know they will make awesome parents.

I hope you guys like this sneak peek - and leave some love for Coelle and Josh for doing a fantastic job! All images are by Coelle unless otherwise noted.
