A luxurious self care moment is always an excellent start to a wedding day! David and Troy did just that, bringing in their barbers for a shave and a haircut first thing. After an emotional first look, we all headed to Bates Nut Farm for a glorious fall day! September is a magical time at the farm, with GIANT pumpkins, the beginnings of a corn maze and blooming sunflowers
Read MoreWhat was your favorite part of the wedding day?: For moments for just us, our first look! We’re so glad that we did one and were able to have a quiet and special moment for just us in between that craziness of the day! Especially for a bride like me, who was really hands on (at the venue setting up and putting out fires until 45 minutes before Maddie arrived LOL), I enjoy the chaos of prep but having a moment to take a breath just the two of us was really the recharge we needed before the event.
Read MoreYour wedding day is the perfect opportunity to cruise around in the car of your dreams with the person of your dreams!

While Kate and her team at Sunshower Weddings worked tirelessly moving the ceremony outside and then inside again as the clouds menaced.
Read MoreThoughts/tips for other couples starting their planning journey?: “My one tip is that, from the beginning process of planning your wedding if you're planning on having a huge wedding and it's complicated whether is family/money or whatever the case is, try to plan it as an elopement and not a big wedding. If you feel immediate relief, Elope. You will not regret it.”
