Hope & Andrew's wedding was such an honor to photograph! I first met the two of them when I did their engagements last fall in Provo Canyon! So I was so excited when it was finally time to do their wedding. Their wedding took place in Branson, Missouri at the Atrium. We started the day with clouds and a bit of rain, but luckily it cleared up in time for everything to start! I started with flat lay photos of their invitations, rings, shoes, flowers, and all the other wedding details. We then got some getting ready photos of Hope & her bridesmaids, and then Andrew & his groomsmen. It was so fun meeting so many of their friends and everyone was just so excited for the day to start! We then did first looks with Hope's bridesmaids, and then her & her dad, and then did the first look between her and Andrew. It was so special to see everyone's reactions and just to see how excited everyone was!
We then decided it was time for photos of just Hope & Andrew outside at their ceremony space. Luckily the rain had just stopped, so it made for such pretty light for photos of the two of them. I could not get over how good they both looked, and it was so fun capturing photos of them so in love and giddy. We also did bridal party photos and most of the family photos as well before the ceremony started (which I LOVE to do) and all the colors that Hope had coordinated for her wedding were looking stunning in the photos. It was then time for the ceremony to start! It was so special to see everything come together. Their officiant did so well, and Hope & Andrew shared such great vows. They were hilarious, but also so emotional, you could truly tell how ready & excited they were to finally get married. After they shared their first kiss as husband and wife, we did a couple more group photos and more photos of the two of them! I always want to make sure my couples are getting plenty of photos of just the two of them because normally it's the only time you're in your wedding attire!
We then moved on to the reception part of the evening where dinner was served and we were able to move inside the venue! It was so fun photographing the grand entrances of the bridal party & the happy couple. We also had their cake cutting! We did a few more sunset photos with Hope & Andrew, and then moved onto the toasts portion of the night. Toasts are always some of my favorite things to photograph because they're normally hilarious and you get to learn so much about your clients! These toasts were nothing short of amazing, and it was fun hearing stories about the two of them. We then moved on to first dances and their dance party to end the night. It was seriously such a good dance crowd and I was pumped that I was able to take so many photos of the two of them and all their friends! Hope & Andrew's wedding was one of my favs, and I was so happy I was able to document so many happy memories!
