White Laurel Estates

The bride, the groom…the magic in the air! White Laurel Estates was the perfect venue for Kelsey and Dawson’s perfect wedding day. Kelsey’s style is classic and crisp and it matched the landscape of White Laurel Estates perfectly. I can’t wait to share this perfect day with you. Get ready for the beauty!

We entered the venue to the bride looking gorgeous with her hair and makeup done by her friend, Courtney! We’ve worked with Court a few times and we knew the girls would be stunning!

The guys were ready to have good time in their grooms suite and they were anxious to get the day started!

The first task of any wedding day is to capture the perfect details from the day. Kelsey did not disappoint with her wedding suite, rings, and the florals were on point for her classic and clean wedding day! I mean, look at those dusty light rose dresses. Nothing like it with a navy suite and some handsome groomsmen and gorgeous bridesmaids to follow. White Laurel Estates was sure to be the most magical backdrop to these beautiful people on this most exciting wedding day.

Getting ready at White Laurel Estates was truly a dream!

Their suites are the perfect white for those fairy tale shots every bride dreams of. Kelsey is stunning, so it was even more exciting to photograph her in this classic white space! I mean, is there really anything like a classic white venue? In my opinion, nope! Ha! They had picked the most perfect space for the most amazing day and it shows in every photograph!

The first look was near! Nothing makes us more excited than a groom seeing his bride for the first time, but a close second is the Daddy seeing his baby girl! I mean, the tears are always there. Both guys loved this beautiful bride so very much and it was such a special moment seeing both of the men who love Kelsey most, seeing her in wedding gown for the very first time!

The White Laurel Estates backdrop just gave us that most beautiful backdrop to capture their love stories for their girl.

It’s time to take a look at Kelsey’s gorgeous girls. I joked on social media last week that the hardest thing I do on a wedding day, is walk into a bridal suite for the first time to say hello to the ladies. I am not sure if it’s just because women can sometimes be hard on one another or just making sure they’ll like me…but this group did NOT disappoint. They were so kind and welcoming and I felt like a friend as soon as we met. In fact, I have a feeling I may see a few of them again in the future! {wink, wink}

The guys were hilarious! Groomsmen always know they need to just cooperate because they want it to be over. I am quick shooter so I always tell my guys to give me 15-20 minutes and I will work fast so they can be done. I get rave reviews for this little trick.

Check out how gorgeous and handsome these amazing people were on the ground of White Laurel Estates.

It was time! The wait was finally over, the buses with many guest had pulled into White Laurel Estates, and they were being seated! The music started and the wedding was to begin!

The excitement was in the air, Dawson was ready to see his bride and there may have been a few tears cried as we waited for the grand entrance of Kelsey out the beautiful doors of White Laurel!

Here comes the bride!

Y’all! They are married! We snuck a piece of amazing bacon by Events by Dezine before heading out for some last photographs with the wedding party, the sweetest flower girls, and of course, the couple!

Have I mentioned how much fun we had with Kelsey and Dawson! Like, we laughed the entire day because they’re so much fun! It truly felt like wedding seasons pre pandemic and that is a very fun and exciting wedding day. White Laurel Estates knows how to throw an elegant and fun day and we loved shooting there!

Now, let’s see some of those sunset images!

TIME OUT:: I have to put this part in there because it was seriously the cutest thing EVER! If you know me, you know I LOVE some animals. I would have a huge farm with baby cows, goats, chickens, and probably 14 dogs…well, if Josh Sullins would let me. Ha!

Kelsey and Dawson looked over to see the cutest goats and they ran! RAN to get over to them. I couldn’t resist capturing the cutest moment of them bonding with these little guys! I am pretty sure they would’ve had to goat ring bearers had they known those little ones were there! I mean, seriously, you guys! Is this not adorable?

Once we finished with our little friends, it was time to enter the reception! And from the first moment I talked to Kels, I knew it was going to be a fun party!!! Trust me! It did NOT disappoint. We had so much fun watching this couple party the night away with their friends and family! The cake cutting…let’s just say Dawson had his head exfoliated for that one! ;)

I think you can tell by now that we loved our day at White Laurel Estates with this amazing couple and their family and friends! Gosh, what a treat to capture their special love story!!!

Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Lenz! We love you guys!!!
