What Did Christian and Kristian's Wedding Day Look Like?

Getting Ready

The day began with beautiful getting-ready photos as the couple prepared in their respective suites. Christian and her bridesmaids wore beautiful getting-ready robes while sharing drinks and memorable moments. The bridesmaids later changed into sleek metallic gold dresses and carried crisp white wedding bouquets. Christian completed her bridal look with an open hairstyle, neutral bridal makeup, and a cathedral-length veil.

Kristian and his groomsmen enjoyed a fun and relaxed morning together in their suite. The stunning groomsmen portraits revealed the camaraderie the men shared before the big day. The groom looked completely dapper in a two-piece black wedding suit paired with a crisp white formal shirt, shiny black shoes, and a white rose boutonniere.

The Ceremony

The couple chose not to have a first look, saving the big reveal for their walk down the aisle. The beautiful indoor venue was transformed with gorgeous wedding aisle decor, white flower installations, and elegant drapery. The emotional wedding ceremony photographs perfectly captured the joy and love shared between the couple and their guests. Following the vows, the couple stepped outside for portraits set against a gorgeous natural landscape of trees and greenery.

The Reception

The afternoon reception took place in an elegant indoor setting decorated with white and green wedding details. Round table settings featured tall floral centerpieces and romantic candle decor. The room was further elevated by striking ceiling decorations that added depth and grandeur to the space. The couple cut an elegant all-white wedding cake adorned with a custom bride and groom figurine topper before opening the dance floor.

Photography tip: A vintage car getaway provides a highly cinematic end to your wedding gallery. Ask your wedding coordinator to stage the vehicle near the exit in advance and ensure the driver is ready. This allows your photographer to capture the perfect departure shot of you waving goodbye from the back seat.
