Andrea + Missy / Wedding at Brookshire

Andrea and Missy found me on Instagram. I try to keep my social media up to date and post consistently but that's hard... with everything else you have to do as a business owner, ya know? I'm grateful it works sometimes though, otherwise I would have missed out on this amazing wedding with this beautiful couple.

Brookshire Event Venue in Delaware, Ohio, is such a well-thought-out location for a wedding. The getting ready suites are huge and set up perfectly for a couple getting ready for their wedding. There is a spacious lobby as well as a couple of different outdoor options for ceremonies and a giant ballroom for dancing the night away with ALL of your families and friends.

We started the day in the getting ready rooms, each bride having her own room for herself and her wedding party. Once everyone was dressed and ready and guests were seated at the beautiful outdoor ceremony space, everyone filed out to take their place for the traditional wedding. Friends of the brides provided wonderful vocals for everyone to walk down the aisle to and another friend sang an incredible rendition of Etta James' "At Last" (which, admittedly, made me cry!) The short but sweet ceremony was proceeded by family and wedding party photos and then we snuck off to the back side of the property to get that good sun for portraits of the delightful ladies. I did not disappoint.

Upon returning to the venue, the wedding party and the couple were announced in to their reception to the cheers of all of their guests, who shortly after raced to the couple, table by table, for photos with the brides. Each table had to get to the center of the dance floor, take a photo and get off the dance floor with enough speed for the whole room to be done in ONE SONG!! And guess what... THEY DID IT!!! This is a fun new tradition that allows everyone at the wedding to get a photo with the couple! It's my favorite! :)

Dinner, toasts and dancing followed as well as cake and desserts, which were made by Missy herself!! They were beautiful and I heard they were absolutely delicious!

The dance floor opened after all formalities were handled. When we left DJ Mike Forrest had everyone on the dance floor dancing to the YMCA, a personal favorite of and by request from Andrea's dad lol.

I'm so incredibly lucky to have such amazing clients and blessed to be a part of so many couples' Best Day Evers <3
