We loved hosting Emily and Daniel’s nuptials at Chatham Station on August 21, 2021. Between the palette and this adorable couple, the lighting and the fabulous photography, it was a glorious summer wedding!

Preparations

Emily’s dress was a stunner! An off the shoulder, flowing chiffon gown with partial sleeves and lace embellishments on the bodice, it was captured by the photographer and videographer prior to the ceremony. Emily also wore a mid length veil that allowed for some fabulous images as well.

Bridal portraits at the main entrance and garage doors were beautiful, and Emily was able to fit in a bunch of fun first looks starting off with her bridesmaids who where ecstatic to see her all dressed up.

Her father was next and he presented her with her “something blue,” a blue diamond bracelet. Finally, and most importantly, Emily and Daniel had a private first look that captured how thrilled they were to see each other before saying their vows. They looked like models at a photo shoot!

The Ceremony

After the flurry of preparations, first looks and photos, it was time for Emily’s father to escort her down the aisle.

The ceremony faced the fan wall with the Chatham Station herringbone backdrop draped with greenery and white flowers. Dan was moved as Emily came down the aisle even through he had previously seen her.

Following the wedding, Emily and Dan got amazing couple photos down the street from Chatham at the cinema and a mural downtown.

The Reception & Details

The monochromatic palette contained green accents (see bridesmaids, table runners, greenery and the groomsmen’s ties), but there was also plenty of lovely evening natural light. Dan and Emily shared their first dance at sunset and enjoyed the rest of the evening talking with guests, dancing, toasting and finding little moments alone together to soak up the day.
