Chelsey + Stephen were married on an overcast May evening with about 100% chance of rain that managed to hold off all day. ALL PRAISE TO JESUS! The two had the most intimate first look on an dirt road lined with rows of overgrown greenery. C+S read letters they wrote to one another privately during this time and soaked up every moment together prior to becoming husband and wife. This goes down as one of my favorite first looks. One that was intentional and deep. When creating the timeline for their big day, C+S mentioned not wanting to rush this time and we planned plenty for them to just be present with each other and their people. Their ceremony continued their theme of intentionality. They broke bread with their parents and took communion as their first act of marriage. The cups used were those their pastor brought over directly from Israel for their day. It was a beautiful way to start this new chapter of their lives together. The ceremony was followed by a reception that could bring the house down! It was a day of celebration and these two had a freaking HYPE team for a bridal party! C+S along with their family and friends really took me in as a part of the crew and we all (including me) got down on the dance floor that night. A wedding for the books and some long time friends made. So much love for Mr & Mrs STACEY!
