“Such a beautiful day all around! Jensen did a first look with her bridesmaids, which was perfect!! It was so great seeing the girls genuinely excited and happy for their friend! Next, we did a first look with her dad, which may have been my favorite part of that day! Her dad's reaction was priceless! He was sincerely blown away, so sweet! Jensen and Reid did not see each other before the ceremony, so it was so fun to capture Reid as he saw his bride for the first time walking down the aisle! These two were a breeze to photograph, as they gushed and stole sweet glances at each other the whole time! Their giant smiles were definitely contagious, and we found ourselves smiling right along with them!” - Corey, Leah Marie Photography

the wedding ceremony
The lovely couple chose one of our favorite wedding ceremony sites at Galway Downs to exchange their heartfelt vows. Classic wood folding chairs were placed on both sides of a rose petal-lined wedding aisle, perfectly situated to watch the couple say, 'I do'. The rustic wood arbor was adorned with beautiful flowing silk fabric in cream and accented with a lavish arrangement of greenery with pink and white roses. The glimmering lake of Galway Downs and the age-old oak tree made for a stunning backdrop for the event. It was truly beautiful!

“Jensen and Reid were so cute and looked in LOVE. They we very open and we got along very well. I loved Jensen's wedding dress - it was totally different than I've seen in a long time. I even Facetimed the bride on the morning of her wedding to make sure she liked everything and to let her know to have a great day. I especially loved that they decorated the wood wall at Galway Downs! I wish more people did this because there are so many ways to use it: either desert wall or photo booth and accent decor for the couch and seating area.” - Robert, Events by Floral Sensations
