A first look & first touch

Alex brought all the waterworks with not only a first look with her dad and bridesmaids, but also an excitement-inducing first touch with groom Van. We love the idea of getting to say "hi" to your sweetheart without taking away from the first sight at the aisle!

Timeless monochrome bridal party

Van and Alex's bridal party stunned in all black attire. We've seen a trend lately of choosing a monochrome bridal party - this is an excellent way to keep your wedding style and photos timeless!

Ambient reception under twinkle light stars

The Farm at Old Edwards Inn stuns couples and guests alike with their twinkle light "stars" above the reception area. Alex and Van's reception was equal parts romantic and fun, with features such as a live painter (Ronald Bayens) and an epic dance party with music by The Company Band.
