Crowley Wedding: Carly + Blake

I am so excited to be blogging this Crowley wedding, the last wedding of 2016!!! I was so blessed during 2016 to meet and photograph so many beautiful couples inside and out. Carly + Blake were definitely one of these! They are both living in Colorado currently so all of the wedding planning had to be long distance! Luckily, these two are both super flexible and relaxed even while planning a wedding 20+ hours away! Carly’s mom took over so many details of the wedding for Carly and their joined effort made for a gorgeous event. It was so much fun getting to know both Carly and Blake during the engagement session, planning phone calls and finally the wedding. These two are completely in love and their contagious smiles jump right out of each picture. I claim Crowley as my hometown living only about 10 min away in Mowata and it was a blast being able to go all over town taking pictures for this wedding. The Grand Opera House never disappoints and the food was amazing! We were blessed with the most beautiful day ever–although a little chilly and VERY windy! The members of this wedding party were TROOPERS. We made them stand out in a field in freezing wind for a long time and there were no complaints! These pictures were so worth the effort :) Here are just a few of sooooo many favorites. The last wedding of the year may just be the biggest! Congratulations, Carly + Blake!!!

This building–The Balcony–was only a few blocks from the Opera House and made a perfect bridal suite!!

I’m so glad we had time to take family pictures out at the farm! We had to use the barn because of particularly strong winds, but I love it!

Time for the 1st look!!!




This idea of exchanges letters is definitely a favorite of mine! So special <3

I think they were a little excited :)

LOVE!!

Wedding party!! They don’t even look cold!!!

Gorgeous ladies!

These girls made Carly’s day so fun and special! So thankful for them!

This was definitely the first time a wedding party asked for a football pose. Hilarious!

Another favorite. Oh, how I love 1st looks!

Carly, you are so beautiful!!!

Carly + Blake wanted all their family pictures finished before the wedding! This spot behind the church was perfect to get dozens of portraits right before the ceremony!

These two adorable flower girls may have gotten a little lost…lol!

MARRIED!!!

Hungry now?? One of the prettiest food buffets I’ve seen :)

One of the most amazing groom’s cake I’ve ever seen! This is definitely a work of art!!

Glow sticks add such a fun party to receptions! Love this shot :)

Meet Adrion Guidry! My favorite DJ ever :) He’s the kindest person you’ll ever meet and goes above + beyond for his couples. He dances all night with this joyful smile and knows how to keep the party “crunk” (in his words)! I know we will have an amazing party when I walk in and see Adrion!

 

Carly + Blake,

I pray that you have a lifetime of love, joy and sweet memories. It was an honor capturing this special day in your life together! Love you both!

Blessings,

Clare
