Natalia & Ruffin | Outdoor Spring Wedding

This was a beautiful outdoor spring wedding. Natalia and Ruffin were surrounded by family and friends and everyone was excited to celebrate these two and the details made it obvious that their families had worked so hard to make everything special for them. Natalia’s mother and a family friend put her flowers together and they were stunning.

Natalia and Ruffin decided to have a first look before the ceremony and it gave them a chance to spend a moment together before everything got started. Neither of them had seen the wedding band that the other had chosen for them and they brought their bands out to show each other during the first look. Ruffin turned around and they couldn’t stop smiling at each other.

The Ceremony

The wedding was laid back and no was stressed or rushing. We were surrounded by trees and you could hear the wind blowing through the leaves. As the ceremony was starting a light rain showed up. But it didn’t cause any problems. Once Natalia got down the aisle and everyone was under the canopy of the trees no one noticed the rain anymore. As the service was almost coming to an end a striking hawk flew through the trees behind the pastor.

The Reception

The reception grew more and more as the night went on. Friends and family just kept pouring in to celebrate these two. As I watched them get excited every time someone new that they loved arrived I couldn’t help but smile. The garden was lit with romantic string lights. After all their hard work the family got to relax and party. There was spirited dancing and cotton candy. How can you go wrong with cotton candy??
