Nathan and Mackenzie- Mount Vernon, wa

This beautiful garden wedding was the absolute perfect day to end the summer season, and I just know you are going to love this beautiful and colorful wedding. I am so glad I was able to be a part of Nathan and Mackenzie's special day. Their relationship is truly so beautiful, and love flowed freely between them all day long. Not only are they some of the kindest people, but also so friendly, warm, and truly the sweetest!

How adorable is this color palette that Mackenzie chose?! The pink and yellow was so summery and the flowers were an absolute dream. I don't think I have ever seen so many flowers at a wedding. Truly so stunning!

This beautiful wedding was held at Maplehurst Farms in Mount Vernon, WA. The whole property was so quaint and had beautiful mountain views. Such a great venue! The bridal suite was super cute and had adorable touches. My FAVORITE part of the venue can be seen during dinner!

Mackenzie chose to have two first looks; one with her dad and one with Nathan. Each of their reactions show just how loved she is by each of them! After Nathan and Mackenzie's first look, they opted to read their vows privately together before the ceremony. I love being a silent bystander of vows. It is such a special part of the idea and I love the pure emotions shared between each couple.

After first looks and vows we did family photos and the wedding party formals. I am obsessed with the way the bridesmaid outfits turned out. The pink and yellow is so fun and different!

While the newlyweds took some private time together, everyone else moved over to the reception area, and it the tablescapes turned out so cute! I love all of the floral details that they included. But the real star of the shows are the PLATES. I can't get over how great all of the floral china was.
