I can’t believe just how perfect Alaina & Ben’s wedding day was! What we expected to be a day full of rain and terrible weather ended up being sunny and warm to make the most beautiful day for these love birds to tie the knot!

Oh my goodness y’all this day was just too good! The day started with the prettiest details and Alaina even had her own blue silk ribbon which I loved using in the styling of the details! Their sweet dog Shadow was there for the morning festivities and even had her own floral wreath that was so precious! Before they knew it, it was time for the ceremony at St. Mark’s Catholic Church where two officially became one! And despite the forecast, we made it all the way through portraits without a downpour of rain! We were all in awe of the luck we had in dodging the storms. Prayer is a powerful thing y’all! We even got to do portraits on their favorite path right by the venue where they walk their dog everyday!

There were so many great moments during the wedding day and well into dancing, but my favorite moments were the ones that might have been easily missed. Like most weddings, Alaina & Ben’s reception was tons of fun with non-stop dancing as DJ Marty kept the party going all night long. Whenever there was a slow song though, Alaina & Ben would come back together from visiting and dancing with friends, and wrap their arms around in each in the sweetest embrace. In those moments, no one else was there. It was just them. Married at last. Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Plude!
