Andrew + Tess
When I first started talking with Tess & Andrew about their wedding day, Tess said: "I want to feel like a woodland princess, with tiny mushrooms and moss everywhere". Well, let me tell you, she delivered!!
Everything about this day felt like we were living in a fairytale - the little book for the rings, the tiara, her DRESSS, Grandad helping tie the ties, that one guy with a surfboard (iykyk) a tiny bumble bee stopping by to say hi on the bouquet, the tiny mushrooms at every table complete with moss terrariums for tiny fairies.
After the anticipation of getting ready, we headed out to the first look location. Little did Andrew know, he was in for a suprise "spicy" gift from Tess! His reaction was hilarious and totally what Tess expected! She got him good! Then it was time to turn and see eachother for the first time, and exchange private vows.
Under bright blue skies and sunshine, Tess' brother married them while her dad held her bouquet. As a boy mom myself, the way Andrews' mom was looking at him hit me in the feels 100%. From champagne toasts, to silly family photos, the celebration truly began!
The festivities throughout the night included hilarious and emotional speeches, cake cutting, everyone bustin' a move on the dance floor (even Grandad!), silly group photo's and the shoe game - Tess then did an outfit change and we had a mini "GQ" moment at the venue. These two knew how to plan a wedding that truly felt like them! And the best part? They made custom tattoo's of their kitty cat Ripple, for all of their guests to represent throughout the night.
I cannot say enough about these two and their families - everyone was so welcoming and kind, I truly felt like part of the family throughout the whole day and especially on the dance floor breaking it down with the aunties!
Grateful grateful grateful for this day and for these people that I now call friends.
