We first met Tyler and Jordan in person at their engagement session that you can see here. That was an amazing session and built the trust and comfort that we had going into the wedding day a lot making everything feel more natural. The wedding day itself was at one of our most frequent and favorite wedding venues, Windsor Manor. This day had the start of Fall in mind along with some beautifully made DIY decor paired with some Etsy and Hobby Lobby finds.
The wedding day started similar to most for us, saying hey to everyone and gathering details to photograph. We sometimes use a flat lay board but love when we see white table cloths that have been steamed and we just have a giant blank canvas to work with. So that’s what we did and once we finished the details, Morgan and I split off a little bit where she was with the girls and I was with the guys as they got ready some. The guys were hilarious and joking with each other the entire time so we had a great time outside doing their group photos just before the bride came out for the first look. We kept Tyler out and had him positioned so she could sneak attack him with a hug from behind. Once he turned around and saw her, he couldn’t stop smiling and they had a sweet moment of whispering a few things to each other and walking around seeing the whole dress. After that, we had the whole wedding party come for some photos and the girls all together as well. The girls all had beautiful different color dresses to go with the color scheme of Autumn with a bright and vivid feel which is an idea we’re a huge fan of. We opted for slightly different color dresses for our own wedding and it’s seeming to be a growing trend that we are here for. At this point, we sent everyone inside quickly and got the Father of the Bride ready for their first look as well. It was a sweet moment that was more smiles and warm embrace than the teary kind which seemed to fit just right. They had nice little last minute conversation between the two of them before they walked down the aisle together as well and then made their way inside to cool off and get ready for the lineup. The guests were showing up and finding their seats in steady waves before it was time to start the ceremony. Once everyone made their way down the aisle together, the flower girls and ring bearer all came down in a super cute fashion. One of them saw her Mom and ran to her in excitement then was sent straight to the side with the bridesmaids. It was now time for the bride to come and you could just see how in love Tyler was in that moment of seeing his soon to be bride walking towards him. After her Father handed her off, we came to a moment where we wish we had been doing video for this wedding because they wrote their own vows and they were so sweet and full of their personality. Once they said their I-do’s, they kissed and made their way up the aisle together waving with the biggest smiles on their faces. It’s always at this point that we make our way over to start collecting everyone for the family photos and start going down the list. We finished those and dismissed everyone to the reception besides the newlyweds so that we could do some of their couple’s portraits which are some of our favorite photos of the day. We lucked out to have the Sun low enough to give us good light with the venue as a background for a dip kiss and some extra roaming freedom with them and we actually ended up finishing up with a few inside by the piano and piles of books in displays around the house. Just before going to setup for the Reception, we helped get the Bride’s dress bustled along with a few other hands and also got to take some cool “Wife of the Party” denim jacket photos that she was going to wear for their entrance. As soon as they were cheered into the dance floor, Tyler took the jacket and threw it over to the nearest table so they could slow dance together. Everyone then took a break to eat and this is when we also get to sit down for a bit and eat. We actually enjoy meeting the guests and getting to know them some in these moments if we’re able to sit at the reception and in this case we got to meet this super sweet couple from Florida who were the parents of the youngest flower girl. After talking more and relating to a lot with our son being just slightly younger than her, we got to see her go take over the dance floor. After the Father/Daughter and Mother/Son dances as well as a few songs of everyone dancing. We made our way inside for the cake cutting. They kept it sweet and enjoyed the cake in an intimate setting with some of their closest family and friends and signed the marriage certificate in that same room as well. They also had some Autumn themed Champagne flutes to just enjoy together. As they finished their drink, they made their way back out to the dance floor to dance the night away only to be interrupted by the bouquet toss, garter toss and shot gunning of a few beers. We absolutely loved this wedding day and getting to know them and their families more. Ever since the engagement session, we knew this would be fun but you never really know just how much fun. We are excited to see what the future holds for Mr. and Mrs. Shealy as they grow their lives together and continue making their impact in the medical field!
