Liz and Brandon’s wedding day was absolutely perfect! They kicked off my first wedding of the season with their classic spring wedding at the always beautiful Thornberry Creek. Between the lush greens at the venue, the gorgeous weather, and the sun setting just right; it really could not have been a more perfect backdrop for their day!

Liz and Brandon have known each other for a decade now, meeting back as kids when Brandon’s family moved into the house across the street from Liz. Friends first then officially dating since 2011, they have been by each other’s side through so many things. Their wedding day felt like one big celebration of all the time they’ve spent together and all the years they will continue to be together.

The wedding speeches definitely took the cake at this wedding. Brandon’s dad shared a few words of advice and Liz’s brother (and Best Man) crafted a hilarious speech that had all the guests roaring. I loved his line, “I knew Liz and Brandon were going to get married the moment the became engaged.” Brandon’s sister (and maid of honor) shared stories from their childhood. A dear family friend and mother figure to Brandon, Beth, toasted to their happy life while paying honor to Brandon’s mother who sadly passed away years ago. To end the speeches, Brandon thanked everyone for coming and told the story about how they got engaged in Mexico as the sun set and the mariachi band played.

It truly was the perfect day and I’m so thrilled I could be a part of it! Thank you for having me, Liz and Brandon. Congratulations and best wishes on a long and happy life together! I hope you are enjoying your honeymoon in Paris!

I’m so obsessed with Liz’s shoes! Gorgeous!

Brandon’s mom sadly couldn’t be with them on their day but she was definitely there in spirit.

Liz made such a pretty bride!

Ah, that look! Love when a groom sees his bride for the first time.

Married! Woohoo!!
