SAINT JOHN VIANNEY CATHOLIC CHURCH

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Shrull! Laura and Sam’s winter wedding was a memorable event from beginning to end, with the ceremony at Saint John Vianney Catholic Church and reception at Lakeside Country Club.

At the start of the day, Laura and her bridesmaids enjoyed a peaceful morning sipping on mimosas and getting ready together in her mom’s home. The bridesmaids couldn’t contain their excitement when they saw Laura coming down the stairs in her perfect long-sleeved gown for the first time! Shortly afterwards, we made our way to the church where Laura shared a heartfelt moment with her before the ceremony. Laura and Sam also chose to share a first look with each other before the ceremony, and it started raining right when they saw each other. That sounds like good luck to me!

The ceremony took place at Saint John Vianney Catholic Church, and it was a meaningful service filled with prayer. Laura looked radiant as she walked down the aisle towards her groom with her pearl studded veil trailing behind her. After they were announced as husband and wife, the newlyweds were beaming as they made their way back down the aisle together!

LAKESIDE COUNTRY CLUB RECEPTION

The ceremony was followed by sunset photos and cocktail hour at Lakeside Country Club. Guests were greeted with specialty drinks and appetizers as they made their way to the candlelit ballroom. The reception space featured lounge seating and breathtaking floral arrangements, including a stunning installation over the dance floor which would serve as a focal point for the evening. Guests enjoyed live music, espresso martinis, and specialty food stations (such as sushi!) throughout the night. There was never a dull moment on the packed dance floor- from crowd surfing to the UT fight song! To end the perfect night, Mr. and Mrs. Shrull ran through a sea of bubbles on the way to their getaway car.

Congratulations again, Laura and Sam! It’s been a joy getting a part of your wedding day memories, and we wish you all of the love and happiness in the world as you continue this new adventure as husband and wife!
