How lucky I am to have been able to capture my little sister's wedding day?? This blog post has only a peek of their full wedding gallery! It has been so fun watching Maggie and Jaycee fall in love and I was so excited when she asked me to do their wedding pictures. Maggie is the second girl out of five girl's in my family, I am the oldest. We had been dreaming about this day forever and it finally arrived! Maggie had a vision and my mom and I were determined to make it happen! A few DIY projects later and we had her rustic, country wedding at the Timbered Rose in tiny town Tremonton, Utah.
We spent the morning setting up the ceremony and helping Maggie get ready, we could feel the excitement in the air. Here are a few of my favorite pictures captured before Jaycee and Maggie tied the knot. We had Paige Doone, paigeelisephoto on instagram, help me capture pictures I needed to be in (ceremony, family pictures, bridal party). She was amazing to work with!
The ceremony was just after 1 pm in the warm, bright sun. We were grateful for that since it was a chilly October day. Jaycee and Maggie shared vows and sealed the deal surrounded by their closest family and friends.
Maggie and Jaycee wanted everyone in cowboy boots! They decided jeans for the boys and Maggie let all the girls pick their own dresses as long as it was denim, navy blue, or rust red. It came together so cute! My mom and I put the flowers together the night before. My sweet sister in law Taylor Stagg put together Maggie's bouquet!
Maggie and Jaycee wanted to serve something cozy so they decided on soup and bread bowls. My sister Eva (the 4th) made coloring pages of the two of them. It helped entertain all the sweet kiddos in the family!
I saw the cutest idea on Pinterest of a love story map so I decided to recreate it!
We had a small break between the luncheon and reception so I though I would snap some pictures of the mid day naps, the kids playing, and the little decorative details around the reception. My dad also fixed up a 1978 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ 55 for my sister and they decided to use it for the getaway car! He broke down on the way up to the venue and had to make sure it would be able to drive off at the end of the night so I took a few pics of him doing car guy things. One of my favorite details was the "love that built us" table that pictures Jaycee and Maggie's parents and grandparents on their own wedding days.
We spent a few minutes walking around the venue and taking wedding day formals. They are so in love and it SHOWS! I am so happy for these two. Maggie did her own makeup and had one of her bridesmaid do her hair, she looked beautiful!
The reception started and so many people drove far to be at the venue and we were so thrilled to see all the loved ones who came to celebrate Jaycee and Maggie!
They played the shoe game, Maggie's shoes were the red boots and Jaycee's were the American flag boots! My husband and sister had the guests laughing as they asked questions about who was the first to say I love you, who kills the spiders... questions like that HAHA
Maggie and Jaycee cut their cake, had a tug of war between families and against each other (Jaycee won) and swung and line danced the night away!
A classic sparkler exit to end the night! So grateful for these two and so happy to have been able to be apart of their big day! Thank you to all those who helped plan, prep food, set up, take down and everything else that goes along with a wedding day. I have our vendors tagged below!
