I am so excited to share this stunning wedding day with the sweetest pair! The morning of Alex and Bailey’s wedding day was filled with a bit of concern with the weather. With a forecast promising rain, all. day. long. I was starting to get a little nervous. It ended up pouring while everyone was getting ready at the Marriott Downtown. BUT we were extremely lucky as the skies cleared up and the sun came out just in time for their first look and photos outside! Then, literally 2 minutes before we needed to wrap photos up and head to the church, it started sprinkling again and ended up storming during the ceremony, clearing up right in time for their bubble exit and a few more photos at the Capitol! How on earth did we get so lucky?!
Despite the uncertain weather, Bailey and Alex could not have been happier to begin their marriage! I loved seeing how Alex helped Bailey with her dress all throughout the day and how they toasted one another at their reception in front of their closest family and friends. They spent their first day as husband and wife, putting one another before themselves, and it couldn’t have been sweeter!
Enjoy many of my favorites from their day! My black and white + bow tie loving heart was so happy with this classic, elegant and stunning wedding!
Alex and Bailey’s first look was one of the sweetest reactions I’ve been able to capture!
Can we just take a minute to swoon over Bailey’s dress?? And it was paired perfectly with Alex’s tux + bowtie!
I LOVED their idea to bring along some champagne to pop in celebration!
