lilac and purple rock creek farm wedding

I shared a sneak peek from Belen + Chris’s wedding a couple of months ago and now that I’ve delivered their final gallery, I’m excited to share more from their day with you. Under sunny blue skies, Belen + Chris exchanged “I Dos” in beautiful lakeside ceremony at Rock Creek Farm.

With her hair in an elegant updo adorned with a crystal headband, Belen looked stunning in her cap sleeved lace trimmed dress. Chris was beaming with joy when she tapped him on the shoulder and he saw her for the first time. Their first look was a special moment for just the two to spend a quiet moment together soaking up everything that the day meant. A first look is a perfect opportunity to calm the nerves and excitement and get to embrace your soon to be husband or wife for just a minute before walking down the aisle.

After saying their vows under a lilac and purple floral arch by the lake, guests celebrated the happy couple all night in the elegant rustic barn. Belen + Chris’s entire wedding day could not have been more perfect for them. Each detail was given special attention with elements reflecting both their Mexican and American heritages. Weddings that reflect the couple’s personal story are always such a treat to experience.

Belen + Chris, it has been such a pleasure being a part of both your engagement and wedding. It’s hard to believe the day is already over and thank you for all the kind words on the day of your wedding. I’m so happy we were able to get a picture together. Since I’m always behind the camera, this was a rare treat. I can’t wait to see what the future has in store for you as husband and wife and wish you a lifetime of love and happiness.
