Jody and Jen's wedding was my first wedding at Wakefield Plantation Golf and Country Club. My husband and I attended an event there in May sponsored by The Knot and I was hoping to do a wedding there soon. They have a lovely garden area just below the clubhouse next to the covered patio overlooking the golf course. The landscaping is so pretty. Here it is all set up awaiting the arrival of the guests.
The guests and family members were escorted from the parking lot in the front of the clubhouse via cart to the ceremony site. The kids attending the wedding really enjoyed this ride!
Here comes our beautiful bride and her proud father. That is Melissa Thornton, our wedding planner/director, fluffing the bride's dress.
Jen and Jody came to see me on June 14th about officiating their wedding ceremony on July 25, 2009. The time frame was short but together we created a wonderful and meaningful ceremony including a unity candle.
Candle ceremonies outdoors can be tricky and indeed a breeze blew up as they were lighting the unity candle. We were prepared though and had votives lit. Jody and Jen were able to get the unity candle lit and it burned brightly once recessed inside the vase.
The two-story clubhouse with exterior stairs provided a great angle for photos.
We paid tribute to the couple's parents and remembered loved ones who could not be with us.
Jen and Jody wrote secret vows to each other and heard them for the first time on their wedding day. Jen teared up and I handed her a hankie. (I always carry pretty hankies I collect for brides, and grooms, in case their eyes get leaky!)
Ah, married at last! The bride and groom are beaming!
Jen and Jody, I wish you all the best life can offer. You are a strong couple and I know you are so happy to be together!Wedding vendors who made this wedding flow so well:
Melissa Thornton of Stress-Free Weddings and her assistant, Shannon. Great job, gals! It was good to work with you again.
Andrew and Holly Wagner, husband and wife team of Aperture Aficianado Photography. It was great to meet you and I hope to see you at another wedding soon.
Tracy Telenko of Bowtie Mobile DJ & Sound provided the beautiful ceremony and reception music. Thanks, Tracy, for letting me hook my receiver and mic into your system. I look forward to working with you again at another wedding one of these days!
