Summer season Venue at Birchwood Wedding Photos – Amy & Jordan | Weblog

Some days, you stroll away with full reminiscence playing cards and a good fuller coronary heart.

This was a kind of days.

Chelsea and Jerrard’s wedding ceremony at The Venue at Birchwood was the whole lot we imagined and a lot extra. From the very first second to the final, it was a day soaked in intention, in covenant and in essentially the most uncooked and exquisite form of love.

Chelsea is a photographer herself, and there may be really no larger honor in our work than when a fellow photographer (and considered one of our personal college students no much less!) trusts us with their once-in-a-lifetime day. She was filled with radiance, pleasure and completely beautiful. 

And then, there’s Jerrard. Her good match.

From the second we arrived, it was clear that Jerrard wasn’t simply going by means of the motions of a marriage day. He was current. Fully, fully, undone-in-the-best-possible-way current.

It began earlier than the ceremony even started, in a quiet, flower-lined chapel, simply the 2 of them, standing again to again. Not fairly seeing one another but. That was intentional. Jerrard wished the primary time his eyes discovered his bride to be the second she got here down the aisle. So as an alternative of a primary look, they selected one thing simply as tender: a primary contact.

Hand in hand, again to again, they learn the vows they’d every written, laughing, crying, voices breaking (within the sweetest approach). No viewers. No music. Just them, the Lord, and personal phrases too sacred to hurry. It was such an attractive second to get to witness and seize up shut.

So you’ll be able to wager, the second she walked down the aisle was one thing particular.

We have photographed lots of grooms in our day, however Jerrard’s face in that second was one thing we gained’t quickly neglect. He couldn’t maintain it collectively… and he didn’t even strive. The tears got here, they usually stored coming. Through the ceremony. Through the reception. All day lengthy, this sturdy, loving man wore his coronary heart fully on his sleeve, and it was essentially the most stunning factor to witness.

That form of love doesn’t come from nowhere. It comes from realizing what you’re doing and Who you’re doing it for. Jerrard by no means missed a chance to level again to the Lord, to remind everybody within the room what the day was actually about. A wood cross stood on the centerpiece of their aisle. Words of Scripture woven all through their ceremony. Every second felt much less like a celebration of two individuals and extra like an act of worship. Because that’s precisely what it was. They weren’t simply making guarantees to one another. They had been making a covenant, to one another, and to God.

Chelsea and Jerrard, from the very first time we photographed you in Centennial Park to the second you walked again down that aisle as husband and spouse, it has been the purest pleasure to be a small a part of your story. You are a group. The actual sort. The sort that’s going someplace stunning collectively, hand in hand, with the Lord main the way in which.

We love you each a lot. We hope these photos all the time carry you proper again to the way it felt… to the vows, the tears, the laughter, the covenant. And we pray that yearly that passes solely provides extra depth and wonder to the story God is writing for you.

And we couldn’t end this publish with out an enormous shoutout to candy bridesmaid Hannah, Chelsea’s enterprise companion and her proper hand woman, who made positive the whole lot ran easily and that her good friend had the whole lot she wanted all day lengthy. She’s the explanation we now have a portrait collectively! It was so candy to be included within the household shot checklist. From starting to finish, the entire household introduced a lot heat into the day and simply made us really feel so welcomed and honored to be there. We’re so excited to share only a few of our many favorites with you!
