Oakland Farm Wedding Day | Meredith + William | November 2nd, 2019
Eight years ago to the day, William and Meredith started dating. How special that on their EIGHT YEAR anniversary, they vowed the rest of their lives together!!!
Often we have a TLJ Bride who we just FALL IN LOVE with, and I wish I could clone her! Well, our wish actually came true! This year we got lucky enough to photograph TWIN SISTERS weddings!!! Rebecca’s gorgeous wedding was in June, (click HERE to see her wedding day!) and now this Saturday was her twin sister Meredith’s stunning wedding! It was the PERFECT wedding to finish out our 2019 wedding season!
Meredith is just as gorgeous on the INSIDE as she is on the outside. William is an amazing match for her with how he makes her laugh, is her calming presence, and is the life of the party! I think they make an incredible couple, and it was such an honor to photograph their love story!
The morning started off with all the girls getting glammed up by Erin, Angela, and Meredith. I LOVED seeing a bunch of the girls again from Rebecca’s wedding day, and they all looked so beautiful with their updos and makeup! As usual, Catherine and Hailey were on top of things, and SOOOO helpful throughout the day! I wish I could bring those ladies to all our weddings!
Meredith and William opted for a First Look, and his reaction was so sweet! He was in awe of how beautiful she looked, and just kept hugging her and wanting to take it all in. I loved it!
One of my favorite parts of the day was when Catherine prayed over Meredith and William’s marriage before walking down the aisle. It was so special! Then during the ceremony, their pastor surprised them all with wearing OVERALLS under his pastoral robe to incorporate a “mountain” way of life (since they went to App State!) and it was hilarious.
We rushed back to Oakland Farm for sunset photos, and WOW – it was so worth it!!! The sunshine was warm and glowy, and made for some magical portraits!!!!
The reception kicked off with a bang – tons of food, drinks, LOTS of dancing, a photobooth, a s’mores and coffee bar, lots of lounge seating, cake, signs handlettered by Meredith, watercolors done by Meredith, beautiful décor, and lots of FUN! I couldn’t believe how many people stayed on the dance floor for so long – and I’m pretty sure William never left it! (Be sure to check out William doing the worm!)
It was such an incredible day from start to finish! Wow, we just LOVE these two, and wish them nothing but happiness!!! Thank you guys for trusting us to capture all your special moments from Engagement, Bridal, and now Wedding Day. You both are so amazing, and we are PUMPED to have gone out of 2019’s wedding season with a BANG!!!!!
