TALLOWOOD BAPTIST CHURCH CEREMONY

Mary Beth and Gus were married at Tallowood Baptist Church in November, and it was a beautiful wedding day filled with love and happiness! We started the day capturing Mary Beth’s bridal details that she handpicked for her special day, including special heirloom pieces from her family members. My jaw dropped when I saw her perfect wedding dress with its off the shoulder neckline and her colorful bridal bouquet which really set the tone for a joyful day!

Mary Beth’s mom helped her put on her wedding gown and veil before she headed outside to share a special First Look with her dad. Afterwards, Mary Beth’s bridesmaids joined us in the courtyard where they saw their beautiful friend in her wedding dress for the first time! Cue all of the happy tears and giggles! Before long, it was time for Mary Beth and Gus to say “I do” at the altar. Everyone (including the groom!) was holding back tears as Mary Beth walked down the aisle to Gus. It was a meaningful ceremony focused on the true sacrament of marriage, and it was made even more special when Mary Beth’s brother joined them at the altar where he shared about love and loyalty from a biblical perspective. All of the guests joined together in worship during the ceremony, and then Mary Beth and Gus were officially announced as Mr. and Mrs. Braendle!

FALL WEDDING RECEPTION

After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a variety of delicious foods, including a macaroni and cheese station and a gourmet coffee bar. The event space was adorned with colorful floral arrangements and featured two stunning cakes. The newlyweds made their grand entrance and shared their first dance together as husband and wife before the Father of the Bride gave a warm welcome speech. It was a wonderful afternoon focused on family, friends, and fellowship. Guests also enjoyed outdoor yard games and gingersnap cookies made from a special family recipe. (I can confirm that the cookies were absolutely delicious!) And of course, the newlyweds made their grand exit in style with a fun rose petal toss on the way to their getaway car!

Mr. and Mrs. Braendle, it was such an honor being a part of your wedding day and capturing all of the sweetest memories for y’all to look back on! We’re excited for y’all to begin this journey as newlyweds and experience all of the joy that comes along with this new season of life!
