Haley & Sean = The Cornealius Properties Wedding Day!

Cornealius Properties Wedding Day  |  Haley & Sean |  March 4, 2023

What a HAPPY day this was!!!! Haley and Sean are two of the sweetest, most genuine, thoughtful people – and they made our job so easy and so much fun ALL DAY LONG. Sean and Haley were just SO EXCITED to marry each other, they kept saying how they just couldn’t believe they were married! It was the cutest thing to see how amazed they were to call each other “husband” and “wife”! 🙂

The girls started the day in the Honeymoon House, getting glam and enjoying snacks and being cozy in their pjs! The guys also had their own house to relax and hang out in, which is so nice! Haley looked adorable in her little Skims outfit, and bringing the fashion as always. Since Haley is a makeup artist, she did her own makeup – and looked gorgeous! She was so excited to put on her wedding dress – and it was such special moments seeing her put on that dress with her mom and grandmas!

Haley told me she had a gift for us – and wanted us to open it in front of them! We opened a sweet card (that I’m keeping forever), a gift card for Starbucks (so I can edit their photos while drinking lots of coffee!!!!), a gift card for Bojangles (Phillip is so happy!) and THEN we opened a custom leather camera strap with our company name engraved on it!!!! It was such a buttery soft leather, so beautiful, and Phillip put it on my camera right away! It was the most thoughtful gift, and Haley had been working on ordering it for a long time!!! Wow, we were just BLOWN AWAY by their thoughtfulness, thinking of US on THEIR big day. Wow!!!! That just shows what incredible people they are. 🙂

After getting ready, Haley and her bridesmaids had a first look, and then Haley’s dad Jr. had a sweet First Look with her! We next found a beautiful Bradford pear tree for the bridesmaids photos, and it was just GORGEOUS! They were troopers out in the 15mph wind, and I just love how those photos turned out!

The ceremony was just MAGICAL in the Birdsong Chapel. There were flowers covering the aisles, and a beautiful cross as a focal point. The reaction Sean had to seeing Haley walked down the aisle was what EVERY girl hopes and dreams to have. It was just the sweetest. After the ceremony, Sean said it was all he could do to not pass out seeing her – she looked so perfect in every way, that he was LITERALLY blown away by seeing Haley! Oh my goodness, is he not the sweetest?!

We had an amazing time taking portraits with Sean and Haley, they are natural models, and love to do more “serious/mysterious/sexy” poses, and they nailed it!

The reception kicked off with delicious food by Forks Cafeteria (that mac and cheese and rolls were SO GOOD!), a whole drink table (including Diet Dr. Peppers and I was FREAKING OUT EXCITED!) a cute little drink trailer from Sip and Tow, dancing with lighted glow sticks, yummy cake and cupcakes, and a fun outdoor lounge area for guests to relax and chat! It was so beautiful inside the reception, and it was special to see Haley and Sean take a peek at their reception and gush over how good everything looked!!!

Right before the exit, we snuck outside with Sean and Haley to photograph them with Sean’s mustang. He’s owned 15+ mustangs, and he’s always dreamt of having wedding portraits with a mustang! I just LOVE how cool these portraits turned out – they were so different and fun to photograph!!!

We had the BEST time with Haley & Sean, their amazing vendor team – and it was just the perfect day for the most perfect couple. We love them so much, and are beyond honored that we got to photograph their love story!

I can’t wait for you to see all my favorite photos below! ENJOY!!!!!
