Katie & Austin | Florida Lakeside Wedding

As I am writing this, Hurricane Irma is swirling around outside. I’m actually hoping I can get these words typed before we lose power! Katie & Austin’s sunny Florida lakeside wedding is a welcome distraction from the storm! As you can see, Austin is in the Air Force and anyone who knows anything about the military knows that can make wedding planning a bit challenging! Katie said:

“One of the main things that made our wedding unique was planning it while living in North Dakota. There was lots of Skype and email conversations that webbed everything together. I picked out all of my own decorations so it was nice seeing everything finally come together in one place.”

I can’t imagine trying to plan from another state, but these two rocked it. Everything came together beautifully on this fine Thursday (yes, weddings can be ANY day of the week, we love a good weekday wedding.) :)

The way mothers look at their babies on a wedding day gets me every time.

P.S. If there are rose petals at your wedding, there’s a pretty good chance they’re going to end up in my assistant, Cat’s pockets for throwing. ;)

These adorable donut stands were one of their DIY projects for the day!

When the big sis is the maid of honor, there’s a pretty good chance the tears are going to come a’ flowin’!

Doing pushups for his new wife LOL

Austin’s groomsman, Harrison sang the last song of the night while playing guitar. Austin said this was one of his favorite parts of the day, it was one of ours, too!
