On Saturday, we had the huge privilege and honor of celebrating with Chelsea and Xavier as they said a big “yes!” to forever with one other. As soon as we arrived early in the day on Saturday and began chatting with all the sweet girls in the bridal suite, it was evident that this day had been long awaited. To say that the excitement in the hotel rooms was palpable would be a total understatement… Chelsea and Xavier were so ready to be married!
We were blessed with good weather all throughout Saturday, which was actually a surprise… rumors of a crazy ice storm were making a few of us nervous! 😉 All we had to endure were a few sprinkles and some chilly temperatures, and Chelsea and Xavier were total troopers during their outdoor first look. We loved the elegant, wintry details of this day, from the fur wraps the girls wore to the dusty blue and gray colors incorporated throughout the decor. Plus, we’ll jump at any chance to photograph a wedding at Evelyn Chapel AND Medici!
Chelsea and Xavier, we are so honored to have been a part of your beautiful wedding day! It is so obvious that you two are crazy about each other and that you were so ready for this sweet day to arrive. We hope this little peek into your gorgeous day will allow you to relive the little moments you experienced… and we cannot WAIT to send over your full gallery super soon! Have a happy honeymoon, you two!
Xoxo,
Caitlin and Luke
