They met at Spring Hill, he moved to Tennessee, they started dating a few years later, and on May 3., 2014 they said "I do!"
I have seriously been looking forward to sharing these pictures since the moment I snapped the first picture at this wedding. Karlee + Stephen had their wedding at Johnson Park on a Saturday afternoon, and it was one of thee most simple, elegant weddings I have ever been to. SO many details...AKA a photographers dream. :) [Homemade everything.] Homemade napkins, invitations, wedding favors, decorations, tablecloths, mini pies, macaroni, her dress, you name it; vintage, simple, and I have no other way to describe it other than beautiful. [And as you'll soon see, I had a hard time picking and choosing which ones to share...so this post might be a little of an overload ;) ...]
Karlee was one of the most calm + stunning brides I have every worked with. She was adamant, even when we met and chatted about the wedding at Panera, that she wanted to be a part of the set up process. And help she did! It was amazing watching all of her friends + family help put the place together. Every time I turned the corner there was another detail that had strategically found its place. Finally at the very last moment, one of her bridesmaids kindly pulled her away from the work to get her dress on and get ready. The day started off rainy + chilly, but by the end the sun was shining and everything fell into its perfect place. I was so grateful to be there and witness their next chapter of their love story begin. It's definitely a marriage centered around Christ + filled with joy!
Congrats to you both, Mr. + Mrs. Hermes!
