This is a love story that began unraveling years ago.  When Chelsey was a high school freshman and Randall was a senior, their paths crossed in a way that neither of them expected.  A teenage romance blossomed into something more serious, and fast forward 7 years later and these high school sweethearts were making their vows in front of their family and friends as husband and wife.  Their relationship has stood the test of time and all of the changes that come with transitioning from high school to adulthood.  Chelsey and Randall are a beautiful picture of commitment and what it really means to be loyal, in every sense of the word.  Chelsey is Randall’s biggest cheerleader, and Randall would go to the ends of the earth for his bride.  This wedding day was a long time coming, and getting to know these two and their story over the past year made capturing their day even sweeter.  Congratulations to you Randall and Chelsey, and cheers to a marriage that is already more beautiful than your perfect wedding day!

Chelsey’s bridesmaids surprised her with a photo album filled with all of their favorite photographs taken together!

Chelsey’s niece and flower girl Lexi made a chorus of “Awww!” ring out from everyone in the room when she wanted to help the bride put on her Cinderella-inspired shoes…

While I was with the girls getting ready, the talented Michelle hung out with the guys at Randall’s cabin.

Grinning ear to ear, ready to see her husband!

I am just in love with these girls’ look!  The flower crowns were the perfect touch!

Every detail of the reception came together perfectly!  I especially loved how the bride and groom incorporated tons of personal details and local favorites for their guests to enjoy, including Wedgewood Pizza and Handel’s ice cream!

Groomsman Benjamin wrote a song for the bride and groom that he shared after their First Dance.  This groomsman also happens to be my husband, so I have to take a minute to brag on him!  He is such a talented musician, and he wrote a beautiful love song for Randall and Chelsey!

I *think* we almost got the whole party in there!!

DJ Branden knows how to get the party going, that’s for sure!  What a blast working with this talented guy!

This is why sunset portraits are always a good idea.  Mmmm, that light!

And the party continues!

Things got real crazy right about when the DJ lost control to the bridesmaids.

Randall and Chelsey, Michelle and I were honored to be a part of your day!!
