Bree and Max’s big day was my first time taking Lake Oak Meadows Wedding photos and when I saw the HUGE JDP tree just behind the ceremony site I about lost it! For those of you that do not know, a JDP tree more commonly known as a peppercorn tree are my favorite to shoot with because of their hanging branches/leaves and the way the light shines through them! I met Bree a few years back at her older brother, Chase’s wedding. Bree had come to me a few weeks before Max proposed and said she knew it was coming and wanted to check my availblity for that coming year. I LOVE when brides coordinate their wedding dates based on my availablity talk about a huge compliment! One of my favorite parts about shooting a wedding for a family member or a friend of a past client is that I usually already know most of the wedding party and immediate family members which helps make the day go by even that much more smoothly. As soon as I walked into the bridal suite I was greeted with squels of excitement as if they were seeing an old friend, it is also partially because when I show up that is usually when it all starts to sink in and become real! The bridal suite at Lake Oak Meadows was too die for and I just loved how they had multiple makeup stations and TONS of natural light. Not to mention the grooms room had a pool table, what guy doesn’t love that! The day went off without a hitch and Bree looked stunning walking around the lake with her father. Max swept her off her feet for their first dance as husband and wife dockside while family and friends looked on. I am so honored to once again be a part of this families legacy and cannot wait to see where their journey takes them! XOXO
