Abby and Corey began their Stone Bridge Farms wedding with joy. A clear sky overlooked the crisp December day, and a crooning Sinatra could be heard through the guest cottage door. I entered the bridal suite and was met with warm hugs and hellos. That entrance summed up their entire day—it was full of love, and laughter, and warmth that embraced every guest in attendance. It was a day of joy.

Abby and Corey began their love story writing to one another. The idea was simple and romantic, hundreds of handwritten notes mailed back and forth through the years. So naturally, when Abby told me she still had ALL of their letters and had brought some for me to photograph, I was THRILLED!!

There’s nothing like starting the day with a sweet text from your soon-to-be husband AND coffee. 🙂

Since it was almost New Year’s Eve, Abby wanted to incorporate a fun, holiday photo with CONFETTI. #yesplease

This girl is seriously STUNNING.

To make the day even sweeter, Abby chose to share a first look with her father. I loved seeing his happy face as he saw Abby for the first time!

This ceremony setup was pure #WEDDINGGOALS! It was a perfect winter theme with draping, lights, and a romantic aisle FULL of candles!

This wedding incorporated the guests in such a special way. Once the ceremony began, family and friends left their seats to pray with Abby + Corey. It was a unique and powerful moment.

This art deco wedding cake was GORGEOUS!

And of course, after the sparkler exit, we got to play outside for some fun night photos. My FAVORITE!
