For two weeks leading up to their wedding day, the forecast was showing thunderstorms for the whole day. Even that morning, nothing had changed.

But as I arrived at the Stone Mill Inn, the rain stopped, the clouds parted, and the sun shone through. Chelsea and her girls were excited and bubbly, with a few tears in the mix. As Chelsea stepped into her dress, her mother sat behind her finishing her makeup. After sneaking a peek towards her daughter caused instant tears, she refused to look again. When Chelsea was all dressed, her mom looked over, tears in her eyes and pulled her into a hug.

Chelsea and Chris chose to do a First Look in order to go straight into their reception after the ceremony and family portraits. While Chris and I waited near the barn at Balls Falls, Chelsea arrived with her girls. She came up behind him and at the mere call of his name, he turned. More happy tears from both bride and groom, so much love and happiness. Even I shed tears behind my camera.

After the portraits with them and the wedding party, we head to the ceremony officiated by their good friend. Her brother sang and played his guitar as she walked up the aisle. Tears flowed from everyone as they dedicated their lives to one another.

Halfway through a beautiful first dance with her husband, under a canopy of cafe string lights, her dad came in for a quick spin before handing her back to Chris.

It was such a stunning and emotional day, full of amazing memories for this genuinely sweet couple. I am so thankful to have been a part of it.
