Wedding Story: Dawn and Stephen

As I write this blog David is packing for our trip to the beach this weekend.  The craziest part is that this trip does not involve photo-shoots or a wedding.  We are going FOR FUN!  Wahooo!  As soon as we come back we still have plenty to blog, do not fret about that!

Dawn and Stephen had a wedding that was truly reflective of their personalities.  The ceremony was in Dawn's parent's backyard overlooking a dreamy lake.  Following that, their reception was at Camp Rockfish where Dawn and Stephen have both worked summers in the past.  It was a laid back gorgeous day and we were thrilled to be a part of it.

I am currently obsessed with hydrangeas... luckily so is the wedding industry.

It has been reported that everyone that works at Camp Rockfish wears Chacos, 

so ofcourse this was the bride's shoe of choice-- and they are comfy!

The bridesmaids noticed that in all of Dawn's childhood pictures she was rocking the side bow.

They decided to rock it as well... so I rocked the prom-style porch picture to match.

Meanwhile the guys are working it out over at the camp.

It's safe to say this man was excited to get married.

A sweet card will get the bride every time.

The boys arrived at the house and we had to put them somewhere so we could do the girl pictures outside.  I LOVED this idea to have Stephen walk through the room with Dawn in it...

I had the ladies looking over the water and told them to turn around and give me sassy.

This seemed to translate the same across the board!

Those girls might do sassy well, but really they are just a bunch of sweethearts!

They shared a beautiful prayer time with Dawn right before the ceremony.

Checking out the crowd before walking down the aisle!

First dance under the awesome parachute they used as a tent for the reception.

The precious flower girl danced her heart out... then took a break.

Dawn and Stephen snuck away from the party for awhile to get pictures around camp.  

This place is gorgeous!!

I am a sucker for all things celestial.

They had fireworks before the sparkler send off!!

Dawn and Stephen, thank you so much for bringing us into the celebration that was your wedding day!  Your family and friends (that seem like family as well) were so sweet and loving- we felt like we had known them all forever.  Hope you had a fabulous vacation on your honeymoon!
