mr. & mrs. schenke, wedding

The joy of this day is still heavy on my heart. It was an honor to watch as things came together for Jessica & Tyler as she carefully pulled together all her thoughtful details..the perfect dress, her *incredible jewelry* (which, as you’ll see, she perfectly styled with her low-back dress and upswept, romantic hair complete with vintage brooch), adorable shoes which seemed to be all carefully orchestrated around her stunning rose-gold ring.

The sweetness of the careful details, decorations, and personal touches were underlined by the breathtaking speech given by the bride’s father as he placed Jessie’s hand in Tyler’s.  Though our friendship with Jessica is a relatively new one, with her dad’s loving words we relived the highlights of her life up to this point.  Childhood sweethearts, these two!  Turns out, Jessie even made a wedding invitation… a little early-ish… when she was just a little.

The decorations were all unique and carefully selected and collected, infusing the couple’s favorite things.  Jessie used quirky vintage umbrellas, clunky wonderful typewriters, an enviable array of antique cameras and sweet, random china arranged on vintage crates and ladder-back chairs throughout the grounds to anchor the theme and create flow from parking and games to the enchanted, wooded ceremony site, to the tents, refreshments and dancing.
A magical day turned magical night showing that sometimes, juuuust sometimes, the good guys win.
