She stepped into her lace wedding gown and as her mom zipped it up and she turned to face her girls, the room fell silent…Emily made the most beautiful bride! Happy tears were flowing and the excitement grew as her dad walked into the room to see her for the first time as a bride. He was speechless as she hugged him tight and then handed him an embroidered handkerchief for him to dry his eyes…then it was time to go see her groom! She walked down the staircase in her wedding gown at the beautiful historic Church Point Manor to meet Jim on the front lawn for their first look…she saw him out the window first and excitement continued to grow…

She walked up behind him and he turned to look at his bride for the first time…Emily looked like she had stepped right out of a wedding magazine and the look on his face said it all…It’s that “I can’t believe I get to marry this girl” look…doesn’t every girl want her groom to feel that way? It couldn’t have been more perfect. And these two couldn’t be more perfect for each other! The first thing I noticed about them is how much fun they have together…they are truly best friends and it was such an honor to see them become husband and wife!

Emily wanted her wedding day to be relaxed, but romantic and elegant and I think it fit those words perfectly. From the beautiful bridal suite, to the fluffy pink peonies,  to their ceremony on the water, to the beautiful details by the always amazing Hannah Hildebrandt Events…it was a day to remember! I hope you enjoy my favorites!
