The two pictures above are the cutest! The groom surprised his new wife with a serenade. He sang the Avett Brother’s song January Wedding but changed the words to September Wedding. There were tears in my eyes that night.

Gotta love some good signage. Chalkboards were huge this year.

There were so many great details to share with you that we had to split it up between two posts! Our brides put so much effort into making their wedding day special. Can’t wait to share it with you!

The couple below met in South Africa and had a face painter decorate everyone’s faces with traditional African face art. I love those details that make weddings super special.

This top picture is one of my favorites. The brides sister wrote a skit for her toast about how the bride and groom met. One of the most thoughtful, and hilarious, toasts ever!
