Jennifer + Shane = Langtree Wedding Day!

Langtree Wedding Day  |  Jennifer & Shane  |  August 28, 2020

 

The THIRD time’s the charm!!!! After THREE wedding dates, countless venue changes, multiple vendor swaps, and curveballs due to COVID-19… Jennifer and Shane FINALLY got married!!!! They kept such great and optimistic attitudes throughout the entire planning time, and we were so excited to finally photograph their wedding day! 🙂

 

Side note, if you missed seeing their summertime beach Engagement Session, click HERE – and if you missed Jennifer’s beautiful Bridal Session at Rose Hill, click HERE! Can you see TWO things that she decided to change between Bridal Session and Wedding Day? I’ll tell you the answers at the end of the blog!!!!

 

We arrived at Langtree and all the girls were having a fun morning getting glam (thanks to Look Love Beauty: Julie and Kirby!) hanging out, and enjoying the beautiful venue. The bridesmaids were all SO SWEET and kind to us, and it was such a fun morning for us. I had a great time photographing Jen’s details – one of my favorite parts was hearing the story behind her custom clutch. It’s actually made from her mom’s wedding dress! What a great idea to be able to reuse this over and over!!! I also LOVED the calligraphy on her envelopes, it made for a statement that I used in a lot of the detail photos!!!

 

Jennifer had a really sweet First Look with not only her dad, but also one with her bridesmaids. After they saw her for the first time, Alyssa (MOH) gave her a custom little book of photos and letters from all the bridesmaids and Shane. It was such a thoughtful idea (so much work went into it!!!) and Jennifer even started crying. SO precious!!!!

 

Phillip got to hang out with all the guys at the lake house where they got ready – and I got to ride in the party bus with all the girls to the church! During the ceremony, when Jennifer walked down the aisle they BOTH teared up, and it was such a sweet moment.

 

The reception was gorgeous – the place settings, the florals, the cake, the monogrammed napkins – they even displayed a custom lighted sign “The Estridges” which I LOVED!!!! It was such a fun, beautiful wedding – and we were SO honored to FINALLY capture it for Shane and Jennifer. I hope you’ll love seeing my favorite photos below!!!! ENJOY! 🙂

 

P.S. The answer to what were the TWO things Jennifer decided to change after seeing her whole Bridal look during her Bridal Session? Answer: a different pair of earrings, and a completely different veil!!! I loved both of her new choices!!!
