i walked into the lake lure inn just in time to catch the finishing touches lindsay was making to her reception site. the tables were full of pink hydrangeas overflowing white vases that i realized, upon further inspection, lindsay had carefully wrapped in white satin ribbon to create a slight stripe. tea candles clustered around them waiting to cast their warm glow of the sheen of the ribbon. after the last of the hydrangeas found their home snugly in a vase, we made our way through the inn into a sunlit front room for a relaxing bridal luncheon. as the girls nibbled on tea sandwiches, lindsay handed out personalized scrapbooks she’d made for each girl and they laughed and exclaimed over the memories inside.
nourished and relaxed, the ladies piled into cars and headed up the mountain to a cabin to start hair and makeup. the lighting in the cabin made for beautifully dramatic images- these next two were our favorites:
then it was back down the mountain to the ceremony! as lindsay and her ladies arrived there was much excitement over what was about to happen. lindsay and chad had a long engagement and an eight year dating relationship and everyone was ready to see them tie the knot! …no one was more excited than lindsay herself!
the surrounding area was stunning and we were so glad that lindsay & chad carved out some time for couple portraits after the ceremony! the light was soft and the mountains in the distance created such a beautiful backdrop:
the reception was full of dancing and moments of emotion as old friends toasted to and took turns dancing with lindsay & chad.
lindsay and her bridesmaids made the whole day a party- but they really turned it up at the reception! meet the ‘maids:
when it was finally time to leave, the party slowly moved out front to wish them a happy honeymoon and send them off in style:
lindsay & chad, your wedding was so beautiful! all of the personal touches you took the time to plan were so well done- and i know your guests appreciated everything! (based on the empty candy table at the end of the night! :) ) it was great to finally meet you guys and get to know you and your guests, thank you so much for having us be a part of your wedding. hope you guys enjoyed hawaii to the fullest!
