17 Jul {Aimee & Peter}
Peter and Aimee tied the knot on a hot Saturday, June 22, 2024, at the beautiful Lodge at Liberty Forge. Despite the scorching weather, they handled it with grace and joy. Initially, we planned their first look at the gazebo, but given the heat, we opted for an indoor setting to keep them fresh for their outdoor portraits. It was a touching moment as they exchanged personal vows.
Aimee’s bridesmaids looked stunning in floor-length dark green dresses, perfectly complementing the location and white florals. One of my favorite parts of being a wedding photographer is capturing the real moments between couples, and it was clear how much fun Peter and Aimee still have together after years of being in love. The way Peter looked at Aimee was incredibly sweet.
Following the ceremony, the couple received heartfelt toasts from their best man and maids of honor. It was wonderful to hear such kind words and get to know them better through the eyes of their closest friends and family. After a delicious dinner, the celebration kicked off, and Aimee had a special moment dancing to “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” with all the ladies in the room, which was a hit with everyone.
As the evening cooled down, we snuck out for some stunning sunset portraits on the golf course. The night concluded with a private last dance and a magical sparkler send-off.
Aimee and Peter, wishing you a lifetime of love and happiness!
Thanks to all the fabulous vendors who helped make this wedding so amazing!
