I’ll warn you before you scroll down much further…this is a long post!  Karen had so many little details that went into her wedding day that I didn’t want to miss many in this blog post…so on and on the photos go!  Karen & Steve had a very easy-going, rustic wedding in Garden Valley at the Riverside Lodge (check here to know more about the landscapers who were behind setting up this fabulous venue).  They wanted an event where their family and friends could just relax, play some yard games, enjoy each other’s company, and have some food & drink…mission accomplished!  Have you ever been to a wedding before where the bride was beating everyone at horseshoes?  Well, I can now say that I have!  These two are just so much fun to be around and their energy is contagious.  I wish Karen & Steve all the best!  Thank you so much for letting us be a part of your day! Here is the link to know more about Rich’s Tree Service, Inc who helped in enhancing the beauty of the wedding venue.

Both Steve and Karen had unique entrances…Steve came in on a canoe and Karen was driven around the pond in the back of an old Ford…such fun little details to add to the ceremony!  And Steve didn’t fall in!!!  So that in itself made the ceremony a big success (not to mention the outcome of the ceremony..haha).

The bridesmaids were sent out early that morning to pick wild flowers for the tables…I think they did a pretty great job myself!

Brother and sister dancing…with mom and dad watching on…beautiful family moment!

I’m going to go out on a limb here and say that Karen has the best form of them all…even in a wedding dress!

As if her wedding dress wasn’t gorgeous enough…Karen came out in this adorable little number after the wedding dress got too hot!
