There were so many elements of Shelby and Derek’s wedding day that came together to make it so beautifully sentimental and perfectly them. From her handmade custom wedding gown, to the handkerchief that she gifted her mom with the heartwarming words “I love you more” embroidered on it, to the beautiful brooch she wore pinned to her sash…their day was full of love and personal touches. They chose to hold their wedding celebration under a white tent in her parents front yard which created a relaxed and romantic vibe. Laughter and and music played by a live band carried through the air as their guests mingled and enjoyed some of the couples favorite southern comfort foods. They made time to personally greet almost all of their guests and then they did a little dancing before making their sparkler exit!
That’s what I really loved about Shelby and Derek’s wedding day…it was a true reflection of their love for each other and their family and friends. Together they are one of the most selfless couples…constantly checking in to make sure others are happy and doing well before even thinking about themselves. I’m so excited for them and their future together! Congratulations you two on your beautiful wedding day and new marriage! I hope you enjoy my favorites!
And special thanks to Brittany Claud for being my second shooter!
