This wedding was SOOOO beautiful!  All the details…all the color….the scenery….the bride did an OUTSTANDING job designing her own wedding.  Even down to the rocks on the tables her & her little girl walked along the railroad tracks collecting rocks to display.  Loved everything about this wedding.

We met through Justus’s sister, Becca.  We actually met real briefly & then ran into each other a few weeks later.  Justus was like “Hey Hailey” & I told him I was shocked he remembered my name & he said, “of coarse, how could I forget!” 

THE PROPOSAL::: Justus, Lily & I took a trip to California where I used to live to visit my bestfriend Cassey.  While we were there we went to Santa Monica Beach &  spent the day playing in the ocean & relaxing on the beach.  Then we decided to head over to Santa Monica Pier.  Once there we got straight in line for the ferris wheel.  It was absolutely gorgeous because it was sunset & the pier extends out into the ocean.  Once we were at the top, the ferris wheel stopped & Justus got down on his knee, told me how much he loved me & asked me to marry him.  He was so nervous so he practically just put the ring on me & didn’t give me a chance to respond.  It was so cute & special because Cassey & Lily were there & got to share in the excitement.  Lily still says, “remember mommy when you got your ring on the ferris wheel.”  So CUTE!!!

 Ceremony:  Beaver Creek Lodge

Flowers:  Every Bloomin Thing

Cake:  By Grace Harvell

Catering:  Culinary Concepts

The weather was gorgeous & look at the scenery….my goodness!!  The arbor was handmade by the bride & groom.  Seriously this bride is talented with her creativity/design work.

The little girls LOVED miss beautiful bride.  They kept wanting her to dance with them.  When Hailey through the little bouquet for the little girls look at her daughter….she’s wanting that bouquet…LOL!!

Their little girl is SOOO cute.  Check her out eating the strawberries…haha…she loved them!

I think getting married in the mountains is absolutely gorgeous….especially when you have wild flowers everywhere!

WAHOOO….we are MARRIED!!!!

Boy o boy such a beautiful bride!

My favorite thing is when a bridal party can have fun!  I LOVE fun!!!!

Seriously the longest veil I have ever seen!  AMAZING!

This is the bride’s friends’ little girl.  Oh boy she is soooooo CUTE!!!!!

Their little girl was a flower girl & also gave them their rings at the alter.  She was sooo cute doing her little job

A heartfelt toast from the bride’s bestfriend. 

I was knealing down & the groom was behind me…once he saw his gorgeous bride start walking down the aisle I heard him say “WHOA!!”  She took his breathe away! 

I had to get a shot of that potato thing in her hair.  I had never seen that & I said…what is that for…..oh…that’s how ya get that big poof in the hair….it was so funny looking.

She did so well sitting there getting all beautified.

But then she did start to get restless…LOL!

One word….STUNNING!!!!!

The cake lady designed the cake topper from the plates.  Way cool!
