Introducing Mr. & Mrs. Amann!!
They were such a fun crowd to be around! When we were doing wedding day formals with Paul and his groomsmen, the guys kept heckling one another while they were trying their hardest to be serious for photos! I guess it worked in our favor though, because we got LOTS of big smiles out of them! Sarah Blakely's formals were a little more sentimental, as she chose to do first looks with her bridemaids, as well as close family members!
Sarah Blakely & Paul got married at the Homestead at Zion and it's was absolutely beautiful, despite the fact that I'm pretty sure it was the coldest day of spring 2022! ;) We all might STILL be thawing out from it! But regardless, they had a gorgeous wedding surrounded by all their friends and family! Their ceremony was set in an open field and they were married under a wooden arbor covered in vibrant spring blooms!
I absolutely love the blooms that she chose for her florals, both for her bridal session, as well as the actual wedding day!
Their wedding cake made for an absolutely stunning statement piece at the reception! Guests were remarking all evening about how pretty it was!
We didn't see much sun that day, until RIGHT at sunset, so of course we had to sneak out and take full advantage of it!
At the end of the evening, it was time for Sarah Blakely & Paul to have their send off, which originally was supposed to be composed of sparklers and confetti! Unfortunately, the wind knocked over the sparklers and they must have gotten damp from the ground because as hard as we tried- they just wouldn't ignite. BUT, this is the only hurdle we had the whole day, so I'd say we were in pretty good shape! With the help of all the wedding guests, we were able to make do with everyone's cell phone flashlights to give the illusion of sparkly lights behind them!
Congratulations, Sarah Blakely and Paul! I'm so happy for you both and your new marriage! Thank you so much for inviting me to be such a huge, important part of your wedding day! Best wishes to you both!
