Bre and Cole’s wedding at Wexford at Emerald Greens was everything you could hope for on a crisp November day. This wedding had it all—sweet moments, lots of laughs, and a whole lot of love. The stunning A-frame venue, with its gorgeous white walls and exposed wooden beams, was the perfect spot to celebrate their big day.
A Relaxed Morning at Wexford at Emerald Greens
The day started with such a laid-back vibe. The guys kicked off the morning with a poker game, laughing and hanging out, while the ladies sipped mimosas in their robes, soaking up the excitement while finishing up their hair and makeup.
Bre’s mom helped her into her dress and added the finishing touches – her necklace, shoes, and veil. It was such a sweet moment between mother and daughter—one that made the day feel even more special and mother’s cherish for a lifetime.
Her first look with her dad? Let me tell you, there were smiles all around. The way he looked at her, taking in every detail of her dress and veil, was one of those moments that sticks with you. And when Bre saw Cole for their first look, everything just lit up. Their smiles and laughs were so genuine, and you could feel the love between them in every second. It set the tone of excitement for the rest of the day.
A Ceremony Full of Heart
Bre and Cole’s ceremony at a local church was full of love and meaning. Their closest family and friends soon filled up the room with sweet anticipation. Bre’s dad walked her down the aisle, giving her a tender kiss on the forehead before handing her off to Cole.
During the ceremony, they tied the three cords—a beautiful unity gesture to their faith and their commitment to building a marriage with God at the center. When it was time to walk back down the aisle as husband and wife, they couldn’t stop smiling. Their playful dip kiss as they exited was the perfect way to start their new chapter.
Sunset Portraits In Downtown Hastings
After the ceremony, we headed to a nearby riverside park in downtown Hastings for some sunset portraits. The November air was crisp, but the setting was absolutely worth it. The tall pines gave us such a unique backdrop, and the soft evening light made every shot feel cozy and warm.
Bre and Cole shared some quiet moments together, and their under-the-veil portraits turned out to be some of my favorites. They made even the simplest moments look so effortlessly beautiful.
A Reception to Remember at Wexford at Emerald Greens
The night kicked off with a fun grand entrance at Wexford at Emerald Greens that had everyone cheering. The speeches brought out all the emotions—tears, laughs, and everything in between. Bre and Cole’s first dances were so heartfelt, and their intimate cake cutting was the perfect sweet touch to the evening.
The dance floor was packed with energy all night, but the sparkler exit was the real showstopper. As Bre and Cole ran through the tunnel of sparklers, Cole picked her up, spun her around, and ended with the kind of kiss that could’ve been straight out of a movie. It was the perfect way to close out an unforgettable day.
