I love trying new prompts with my large wedding parties, count down to a group hug was one I started doing last year and I think it's quickly becoming a favorite of mine! :) The faces and reactions of the wedding party are priceless and the bride and groom don't know when it's coming which makes it more fun!

Nolan and Brooke met in the ending of 2021 after matching on Tinder 🤣. They both weren’t really sure where things were going to go. With Brooke being a single mom and both of them working full time jobs. Brooke would visit Nolan every other weekend while Rae was at her dad’s. Their actual first date was a morning date at IHOP. After a few months Nolan asked her to be his girlfriend and valentine all in one and they offically started dating on 02/12/2022. Fast forward a few more months Nolan bought a new motorcycle which brought in another payment he had. Jokingly he said Brooke should move in and she said "say less" and moved in shortly after. Living together was everything and Brooke is glad the way things played out. On 11/12/2022 we went out for dinner at Olive Garden (my all time favorite restaurant) where Nolan proposed and asked to spend forever with her. The wedding planning began almost instantly. Then they got pregnant with their son Bennett and put a pause on the planning of the wedding. After Bennett was born we were back into full swing planning this wonderful fall wedding. After so many stressful situations they finally tied the knot on 10/12/2024. Their number has been deemed as 12. They got together 02/12, engaged 11/12, married 10/12, and that’s not all Brooke's birthday is 5/12 and Nolan and their dog Harley’s birthday is 9/12. To make things ever better their kids share the number 9, RaeLynn is 6/9 and Bennett is 3/9. And that is how her last name grew and their families expanded.

The proposal happened at Olive Garden. Nolan was so nervous. One thing Brooke didn’t want to happen was to be proposed to in sweatpants. Nolan didn’t want to tip her off and say dress nice. so….. she was wearing sweatpants 🤣

Something else unique that Brooke and Nolan wanted to share is our wedding rings are Nolan’s grandparents. Nolan’s mom Renee gave me Nolan’s grandpa Greenlee’s ring one night when we were camping. I was such a nervous wreck trying to hide it from him. But that got me thinking he had a ring for me. I tried not to think about it but he played it off well. He hid the ring in the truck so I wouldn’t go looking for it.

Their wedding was the perfect definition of a fall wedding. They got married at a family's hunting grounds and the colors were just stunning. The weather couldn't have been better. Not too warm and not too cold. The wedding colors and flowers were the perfect combo to bring out the fall vibe. I loved all of the touches of black and orange as well as the sunflowers! These two have created the most adorable family together and I love how they included their children in the wedding, especially little man.

Brooke and Nolan had smiles on their faces all day long and you can just tell they adore each other! I loved all the first looks and Brooke even planned a surprise for Nolan which included her bridesmaids secretly passing poloroid images to him as they came down the aisle. His face was priceless and I think it made him anticipate her coming down the aisle even more.

The fact that they know how to keep surprising each other and are each others best friend lets me know their marriage is going to last.

That excitement you feel with the first official kiss as husband and wife!! I love when my couples make a big deal of the moment, with a dramatic dip or jumping in the arms, you show off that love! You can tell Nolan and Brooke just did what they felt was right in the moment, he got a little too excited and dipped her too low and they both ended up balancing on one foot, and neither of them fell, it made for great photos!

Just about done with this gallery, but I'm going to be posting some sneak peeks because they are just too good!!

It's the emotions for me!!! Brooke was surprised by her sister, Savannah and other family members with super special and sentimental gifts, like a locket with her grandma's ashes that had passed recently, as well as other memorable trinkets and a family member sewed a piece of her grandfather's shirt into her dress as a surprise and as her "something blue." This was such a sweet ambush and there was not a dry eye in sight!

Kelsey and Robert met because Robert knew her best friend Alexis before she did. Kelsey and Alexis worked at the same bar. Robert came to visit her at the bar while we were working, he saw Kelsey, was frightened, and apparently intrigued because he chased after her for 3 years before they began dating. Haha. He bought her a dog and she let the dog “decide” whether she said yes when he asked her to officially date him. After that they bought a house, had two babies, bought another house, got married, and here they are now!

Robert proposed by putting a onesie on their son Ezra and asking Kelsey to marry his Daddy ❤️

Kelsey reached out to me over facebook and starting talking about her wedding as she was searching for a photographer, we clicked instantly and I knew we would make a great team! I'm so glad they picked me for their wedding.

Their wedding was a perfect vision come to life, it was so unique and I remember when she was describing it to me with the colors I couldn't envision what it would look like altogether but I knew it was super unique and I was excited to see it. When I showed up it was better than imagined. They got married in their backyard on their property in a private ceremony with a mixture of colorful floor rugs to create the aisle way. They also used vintage dining room table chairs as the seats for the ceremony. The colors were my favorite part, they were sage green and purple with touches of gold and it was all balanced out beautifully with Kelseys white and gold dress! Just absolute perfection. Everyone was in awe with all of the children involved in the wedding including the oldest son pulling the youngest 2 down the aisle in a wagon.
