Alexa & Jordan = May Lew Farm Wedding Day!

Alexa & Jordan  |  May Lew Farm Wedding Day  |  May 20, 2023

After two whole years of planning & preparing for their big day, Alexa & Jordan finally tied the knot on Saturday!!! Alexa & Jordan booked us two years ago, and in the meantime Alexa has graduated Law School, moved back to Wilson, they’ve bought their first house, and now they’re MARRIED!!! They’ve been together since high school, so it’s actually been a LONG time coming for this wedding. Through the years & long distance, they’ve supported each other’s dreams and careers, and made such a good team!! We were so happy for them to finally become husband and wife!!

We started off the day photographing all of Alexa’s beautiful details! Fun fact – I actually designed their entire invitation suite & ceremony programs too! Their crest was one of my favorite parts, I love a classic monogram and crest. Alexa spoiled me with so many pretty details – a STUNNING heirloom gold tray (I reallyyyy want one of my own!), a velvet ring box with a “C”, so many pretty flowers, and most feminine & fun white heels ever! I loved them SO MUCH!!! I also got to style a custom painted champagne bottle that Alexa was gifting to Jordan. Alexa had a bouquet wrap designed with a monogram & it was just beautiful – I love when brides add one!

The bridesmaids were just the sweetest & most helpful! Lauren, the MOH, was soooo incredibly attentive to Alexa all day, and really helpful to me all morning! They all helped to make the best of the morning & keep Alexa stress-free. I loved how intentional Jordan & Alexa were with gift-giving throughout the day. They gifted their parents really thoughtful presents, and then Alexa even got surprised with a GORGEOUS Louis Vuitton purse that she’d been wanting from Jordan! Way to go, Jordan!

The ceremony was inside the large barn, and looked so pretty with flowers lining the aisles. The sun popped out just in time for Bridal Party portraits, and i was SO happy for that! The guests were treated to a huge spread of food for cocktail hour, along with a super cute horse trailer mobile bar, and a Tequila Sunrise drink as their Signature Cocktail! So they were all happy and enjoying themselves while we took photos.

The reception kicked off in the barn after an incredible flip by Four 26 Events (Talia Hair) – what an impressive flip they did!! The cake table area was SO amazing and made such a statement & focal point. Jordan & Alexa treated their guests to a yummy dinner (they even had a vendor table with place cards, REAL silverware & napkins, and FULL HOT MEALS including rolls for all the vendors! We were all spoiled and so thankful!) and the food was BEYOND DELICIOUS! There were sweet toasts, yummy cake, dancing with glow sticks, open bar, and a beautiful night for outdoor mingling and conversations!

We snuck Alexa & Jordan outside for some quick photos with their Rolls Royce getaway car. It was such a beautiful vehicle & I was thrilled they wanted to grab a few photos with it!

At the end of the evening, they had a “cold spark” exit out to their getaway car & away to their honeymoon! (I teased them that their wedding was full of firefighters, yet this ONE wedding didn’t have a sparkler exit with real fire, haha!)

I can’t wait for ya’ll to see my favorite photos below! ENJOY!!!!
