We had the pleasure of photographing a lovely, fun-filled, AMAZING wedding day in Morgantown, West Virginia this past Saturday. Amy & Logan are two of the sweetest people we know & we had no doubt their wedding day would be spectacular, but our expectations were blown away by the reality. . . their wedding day was even better than we could’ve imagined. We met Amy almost three years ago at her sister Kelsey’s wedding; Amy was the Maid of Honor and we were the photographers. We LOVE when we get to photograph more than one wedding for a sibling group; it’s truly an honor to be trusted again and again by the same family with their wedding memories! We are going to be gushing in this blog post just to warn you- we love this family! Amy & Logan’s day was a lovely June day. The sky was overcast during the outdoor wedding ceremony, which we appreciated. The even lighting provided by the cloud cover was superb. Then the sun peeked out during bride & groom portraits & the view from the golf course at Lakeview Golf Resort was STUNNING! West Virginia & its mountain views definitely make for a glorious backdrop! Oh, and everything about Amy’s bridal look was divine. She is a beautiful woman & Logan is one lucky man. Oh, and Logan is not too bad himself. 🙂 Amy joked that she got to marry Thor & we have to agree that Logan does resemble the actor who plays Thor. They’re a great match & always laugh, have fun, and adventure together. All of their family and friends agree that they make each other happier than they’ve ever been before. So without further adieu, please enjoy our favorites from their wedding day! Hayley Paige designs the most gorgeous wedding gowns! JL Makeup Studio did a great job with Amy’s makeup & the bridesmaids’ makeup, too. Logan & the guys were in the same hotel as Amy & the ladies. It was also the ceremony and reception spot so everything was very convenient.Isn’t her makeup so romantic?! She was the most laid back and happy bride! She told her makeup artist and hair stylist to do what they thought was best. And she LOVED it all. I heard every guest complimenting her all day.This. I cannot. Ahhhhh! This is Amy’s niece Alaina. And Amy is the best aunt ever. Josh and I were so happy to get to meet this squishy little joyful girl that day; she is the sweetest little lady & we got to photograph her parents’ wedding in 2016. We LOOOOOVE getting to stay in touch with the couples whose weddings we photograph & getting to see Kelsey & Logan again with their baby girl was a joy. They are a beautiful little family. Oh. . . sidenote- watch out, Kelsey & Logan. . . this girl is a flirt! lol! Okay, so this requires a little backstory. hahaha! Logan #1 (the bride’s brother-in-law and our groom from the 2016 wedding) was talked into this one late night by his wife and sister-in-law. ha! He put on a dress and a flower crown and when Logan #2 (groom) was expecting to do a first look with his bride Amy, this is what he got instead. . .
Best.Reaction.Ever.The beautiful Matron of Honor Kelsey had to get this moment between her husband and soon-to-be brother-in-law on video, of course. hahaha!This was everyone watching the video as they continued to get ready for the ceremony. Laughs all around. And this was also one of those “awwww” worthy moments. Amy got to wear the same bracelet that her big sister wore to her wedding. Amy put this on Kelsey on her wedding day & then Kelsey got to return the favor on her little sister’s wedding day.And their mama Denise is gorgeous, isn’t she?!Thor on his wedding day. Whoops. I mean Logan.Are’t their flowers pretty? Amy’s mom put them all together. She is one talented lady.Joyful brides are the best brides!
And then it was time for the ceremony to start & Logan saw Amy & her dad walking down the aisle.
Their ceremony was beautiful & personal. Gahhhh! Lainey, you are perfect.Lovely ladies! Feeling on top of the world. In more ways than one. These two met working in Amy’s dad’s hayfield. And just look at ’em now.The Cupcakerie in Morgantown made their adorable cupcakes and wedding cake.And then it was time to celebrate! Kelsey got to share how Amy was a typical little sister all throughout their lives following her around and trying to do everything she did. And then Amy had to take it one step further and marry a guy with the same name as her husband. LOL! Father-daughter dances- feels. . . all the feels.And this family. . . they are the best.Well it was a real shame no one had any fun at all at the wedding reception. haha!And these two- so wonderful together. Amy & Logan, THANK YOU again so much for choosing us to photograph your wedding day. We loved getting to know you as a couple & getting to see the family again was a treat. We wish you all of the joy & laughter & adventure for the rest of your lives together. Congratulations again! Since you loved this blog post, you will also enjoy:
