Bev + Craig | Part I
I really
haven’t been doing “Part I” and “Part II” posts this season because I love showing a full weddings in one post. But every now and then there are weddings where there are just too many images to show! If I fit all of my favorites that show off this wedding day in one post, it would be the BIGGEST wedding post yet! (And NO ONE would be able to load it!!) So, I am forced to do a “Part 1/Part 2″ because I have so much to show you from this wonderful wedding! Bev and Craig are two of our best friends. We’ve known them for what seems like forever and this day has been one that I’ve been looking forward to for YEARS! As we sat around tables at their rehearsal dinner,
one by one, people stood up and talked toasted to their character, their integrity and their passion for the Lord. These two are the real deal and when two AWESOME people decide to get married and start a life together, you better believe it’s going to be an amazing celebration!!
From the moment Bev came down the stairs and saw her daddy, the tears were flowing….EVERYONE’s tears were flowing. It was beautiful and I have heard Bev talk about and anticipate this day for so long. She has prayed and prepared for the day when she would marry the love of her life and that day had finally come. The best part is that the love of her life is one of our good friends. I’ve known craig since I was in Middle School and so seeing his family, our families and all of our college friends at the wedding was like one HUGE reunion. Loved it! Bev couldn’t have found a more amazing guy to spend the rest of her life with. These two are going to be living in our hometown and starting Young Life in our high school. They already have an incredible story and I can’t wait to watch the Lord write their story for years and years to come!
I’ll stop talking so much since I get to write about them again for PART II! Enjoy this beautiful gold and gray wedding. I LOVED their color choices. Bev is know for having awesome style and being so brave with fashion, so I knew their bridal party was going to look GOOD!!! Enjoy my favorites!!!

What a gorgeous wedding!! The coordination of the yellow in the wedding with the yellow leaves at this time of year is so perfect and really makes this look more like a styled magazine shoot than a real wedding… just beautiful! I can see why this is a two-fer!

[...] “We decided to do the first look to take a little bit of the pressure off. We wanted to enjoy every second of our wedding and didn’t want there to be this immense build up as I was seeing her for the first time in front of 200 people that were also seeing her for the first time. We wanted to share that moment together and to be able to sit in that feeling for a moment alone. And trust me, ti was WORTH IT. It ended up being the one moment that if I go to think about it I feel like I am instantly there. I remember every second of it. And the icing on the cake was that it didn’t take anything away from the ceremony. When I saw her I wasn’t overwhelmed with emotion, I was overwhelmed with joy. She was gonna be mine!” -Craig Lily [...]
