Venue: The Cheney Place Florals: Essential Design Catering: Tudor Catering Dress: Renee Austin

The joy and emotion surrounding this day was palpable. From the very beginning, I knew I was in for a treat as I watched Gabby get ready in her perfect simple dress with statement bow on the back. She also handed me her grandmother’s vintage bag for her detail shots and it was a show-stopper. Her mom and sisters made the already stunning getting ready room even brighter with their smiles and laughter. A friend captured the whole day on an old camcorder. I was obsessed. There were SO many tears during the first look. Gabby’s dad helped lead the ceremony with such sweet stories and insights. Our portraits at the Devos steps are some of my all time favorites. Finally, I think Drew’s brother’s best man speech was one of the best I’ve ever heard. Drew and Gabby, you are LOVED. - Libby
