Grace and Wade’s wedding day was a celebration of love, family, and cherished memories that will last a lifetime. Their wedding took place on family property that holds deep significance to their love story. A few years earlier, in the very spot they said “I do”, Wade had asked Grace to be his girlfriend. Not long after, he proposed in that same location, and now, surrounded by loved ones, they celebrated their transformation from fiancés to husband and wife – YAY! The setting served as a beautiful reminder of their shared history and the milestones they had reached together. The day was a true reflection of their love to one another and to the land that held so much significance in their story.

Getting Ready / Details

Grace and her girls spent the morning getting ready together on the same property where the wedding would soon take place.

Her “fur best friend” was by her side as well, adding a sweet touch to the morning, as if he, too, knew this was a special day. Having him there made the moments even fun!

Grace & Wade’s wedding day was filled with meaningful, delicate details that told a story all on their own. Tiny photo emblems of her grandparents were attached to her bridal bouquet, keeping them close to her heart as she walked down the aisle.

Her invitations reflected the timeless elegance of the day, capturing the essence of the wedding’s design. To complete the look, Grace wore stunning blue shoes, subtly tying in a touch of “something blue” while complementing the color palette of the celebration.

Wade wore a tie with a small figurine of their dog attached. Grace’s dad wore a tie with a photo of Grace as a little girl that was sewn into his tie. Every detail was well thought-out and intentional.
