Nicole & Caleb – 5.28.16

Nicole and Caleb, a clearly very in love couple with a fantastic sense of country and chic backing them up. As described in one of their toasts, Caleb always said Nicole was the one that got away. As fate would have it, the two reconnected and the rest is history!

This wedding had a few firsts for me as a wedding photographer, first tattoo ring (very freaking cool), first dog ring bearer (yeeeesss!!!), and first bride ‘almost passing out at the alter.’ No lie. And hey, I don’t blame her. It was probably the 2nd hottest day of the summer, add in some nerves, and a heavy wedding dress and boom, pass out time. Thankfully, that didn’t happen! After some water and fans everything continued to move smoothly! One of the funnier moments was in the receiving line when their grandma started heckling them, “Well I never! In all my years, I’ve never had a bride almost pass out at the alter!” Everyone laughed as hugs and kisses were shared.

These two rocked their couple session, even breaking out some fun veil shots and cowboy boots! Even the flower girl had some boots on! One of my favorite shots from their day is when all the ladies showed off their boots and the flower girl looks up at them like, ‘Are you kidding me?’

The reception was lovely. Tons of tiny details with their initials, a beautiful memory table, even a tree stump cake! The groom’s mom did a lovely reading for the couple before the groom and her took the dance floor. The dollar dance was filled with tons of laughter and hugs. Clearly these two are loved by their family and friends! To date, these two also had one of the best cake smashes I’ve seen. I’m pretty sure they both were cleaning cake out of their hair later that night! All in all, a wonderful wedding affair! I wish these two nothing but the best! And now onto Nicole and Caleb’s wedding!
