I couldn’t imagine ending the 2015 wedding season any other way. John and Lindsay’s winter wedding day included all of the wonderful things that are so great great about the season: a log cabin, pine, red berries, twinkling lights, stone fire places, a giant Christmas tree, fur wraps, and making amazing memories with family and friends. It was the perfect kickstart to the holiday season and I think everyone left their wedding day with a little more Christmas spirt and joy in their hearts. The day begin with a jumping photo in front of the limo that dropped the ladies off. The excitement was flowing the the day was HERE! The one they’ve been dreaming of and planning for. On their way to get ready, they stopped to admire the gorgeous flowers that had just been delivered, and were already so grateful for the work that was being done to the space and for the this beautiful day! Lindsay slipped into her gown with the biggest smile as mom and sisters helped and watched and soaked in that moment with teary eyes.

First looks are always so much fun, and you could see the awe and happiness in John when he saw Lindsay for the first time as his bride. He couldn’t keep his eyes off her, and people could not keep their eyes off them. Truly, this day was perfect. It was a day of celebrating with family, remembering loved ones, being in the moment and cherishing memories made dancing in front of the 10 foot high Christmas tree. It was elegant but cozy, heartfelt and so much fun. Wishing you the greatest days ahead, you two! The holidays will forever have extra special meaning as you look back on this special day!
