These two couldn’t be any cuter together! Alexa and Yale got married on the most beautiful August day! They both got ready at the Guest House Hotel, which is amazing if you’ve never been. It’s a hotel but feels like a home. It’s the most perfect atmosphere for getting ready! Plus a beautiful lobby space where we did their first look!

As soon as Alexa walked into the room where Yale was waiting for their first look, she broke into tears. And by “she broke into tears” I really mean we all broke into tears. I love how emotional and beautiful first looks are <3 Plus HELLO Alexa looked gorgeous. I’m still obsessed over all the beautiful textures in her Essense of Australia dress from Diana’s Bridal Boutique!

Their ceremony at the ever stunning Ravenswood Event Center was no different. Tears. Outpouring love. Happiness. Laughter. And more tears. I’m unbelievably so happy for these two sweet souls and wish them so much happiness together <3
