final installment: the wedding!!!

I decided to conclude my family’s spring break together with Nicholas and Amber’s wedding blog post! Kellie and I were the photographers, and Rich was a wedding guest for a change! Be sure to check out Kellie’s post as well!  

We started the wedding day with both families enjoying a leisurely breakfast together at Panera. After taking care of some last minute details, Amber and I headed off to Elea Blake to have Amber’s makeup done! When we arrived, Tobi of Ivey Handcrafted was waiting for us. She’d made a custom, vintage headband for Amber especially for her wedding day to coordinate with her lovely vintage gown. Amber was so excited to see what Tobi had come up with, and she couldn’t wait to put it on! Thank you so much, Tobi, for being so amazing!

Jill worked on Amber’s makeup while Amber relaxed, enjoying the pampering, and I snapped away. Here are a couple of my favorites!

I had fun using the unique mirror on the wall!

Beautiful girl: Amber is gorgeous even without any makeup, but Jill did an incredible job – she was stunning! And check out those eyes!

Then we were off to (quickly) do Amber’s hair and get in her gown:

And then we were off to the ceremony site at Signal Point atop Signal Mountain, TN! It was gorgeous, and the location proved to be a challenging one! It was difficult to do justice to this location, but Kellie and I did our best to capture the beauty of the landscape. 

We started with a few photos of the bride and groom:

I LOVE this natural, unscripted moment with the bride and groom and their parents just after the ceremony!

I didn’t have to coax any emotion out of these two – they just dripped with joy!

Something about this next image speaks to me.
