the concession golf & country club wedding: chelsea + zack

The two of them are a perfect match. She’s the loud to his quiet, and the crazy to his calm. And he brings smiles and tears to her face at all the right moments. They are each other’s  yin and yang in all the right ways. To know each of them is to know half of a greater whole, and that day they promised to keep it that way for the rest of their days. . .

Chelsea and Zack are married! These two had such an awesome day from start to finish, which was the perfect end to our 2017 wedding season. Chelsea wore a stunning Hayley Paige gown with the most amazing beadwork and criss-cross back, and after getting ready in separate cottages she and Zack shared a laughter-filled first look. It was just the SWEETEST. The architecture of their venue was absolutely breathtaking, and made taking their portraits so much fun. And things only got more fun when their adorable pup Ernie made a cameo for a few shots! (Sidenote, if you missed Ernie’s first birthday party shoot you need to make a pitstop HERE after this post!)

The two of them said their “I-Do’s” beneath a gorgeous floral arch, before a tented reception on the lawn of the club. There was greenery everywhere, from the centerpieces to the ceiling of the tent, and the entire thing felt like something out of the most charming of rom-coms. But as good as everything looked, it felt even better. Because what kicked off under this tent was one seriously rockin’ party, lead by one of their favorite bands from their time up in PA, Velveeta. Everyone danced from beginning to end (but not without taking a few breaks to stop by the cigar bar or munch on some Ernie shaped cookies ; )

Chelsea and Zack, thank you both for such a wonderful day! We couldn’t have asked for a better celebration to end our year with, and we were so thankful to be a part of it.

Love + Laughs,

Sarah & Ben
