Something about shooting your best friend’s wedding just hits a little different, ya know? We met Blake when we were all freshmen in college together and he quickly became one of the most important people in our lives. Kevin, Blake, and their other two best friends lived together all throughout their college years, and we have such treasured memories of travels, late night studies, Whataburger runs, and good conversations over good cups of coffee together. We’ve always known that whoever Blake fell in love with would be so special, and we could not have been more right. When Blake met Grace, it was obvious she was the one. The adoration they have for each other is apparent and their connection is so beautiful to bear witness to.
Blake and Grace had planned a large wedding to celebrate their union, but Covid caused their plans to shift toward an intimate group of people gathered to encourage them in the new journey they were embarking on together. It could not have been more beautiful. Thanks to their incredibly talented event planner and florist (seriously, Callie at Bayly Blooms is our fav forever and ever amen), every detail told their story - from being surrounded by their favorite flowers, to a fun party crown for Grace to wear at the reception, to being welcomed with their guests throwing dried lavender to set a beautiful and calm atmosphere for their entrance to the backyard dinner, to their private last dance surrounded by the surprise floral arrangements Callie had designed for them. I don’t use the word lightly when I say that the entire day was magic. Please soak in just a tiny bit of the joy of this stunning intimate backyard wedding.
