Finley & Tyler got married on Saturday under an array of greenery in front of their closest family & friends! The father of the groom said in best in his toast, that on his wedding day, he finally became whole. By joining together with his better half, he said, now you know me. Finely and Tyler are now together whole through the unity of marriage that begun on the best day.

Finley & Tyler are a match made in heaven because they compliment each other so well and light up when they are simply around the other. They giggle and cuddle and laugh, and fit together so naturally to create one whole. The day came together seamlessly with vendors working tirelessly to create the perfect day for the perfect couple. Greenery was woven through the rafters of the white barn and framed the window in front of which they would pledge their love. Classic and elegant. Long farm tables were set up to create a family-style event where people gathered and visited in celebration of the bride and groom. But at the end of the day, this stunning couple stole the show. All you saw was their intense love as they spun on the dance floor like they were the only ones there. Finley was so excited and anxious to marry Tyler that she interrupted the officiant to say her vows even before he was done talking. She beamed and through laughter and tears said “I’m so excited!!” I’ll never forget the look on both of their faces during their first look. They were both just so incredibly happy and full of excitement of the day ahead of them, but also for the life they were starting that day. It was a beautiful day, not because of the weather but because of the joining of two hearts and families that were joined on that day in the greatest of celebrations.

I’m so lucky to have met Finley & Tyler during this exciting season of their lives! I remember getting to know them at their engagement session at Tanglewood, and we laughed and sweated the whole time! We joked about frizzy hair and FRIENDS (there were many a friends reference on Saturday so I knew we were meant to be!), and I was so excited for their wedding because of how much fun it was going to be! And man, I was not wrong!! They didn’t have a bridal party, not because their friends don’t matter or weren’t excited for them, but because their focus on that day was each other. While it was a small, intimate wedding of 60 guests, the celebration and joy in the room made it feel like 300 people were there to love on these two. The candles are blown out, greenery taken down, the band stopped playing, but what will remain is the memory of the best day and lifetime ahead of them. Congratulations Finley & Tyler, we are so so happy for you both!
