Gunner and Annie’s wedding at Gala Events and Venue in Monroe Washington was the perfect way to kick off my wedding season! We started off with some getting ready photos, and then a first look before formal portraits. Annie had a beautiful jacquard wedding dress from Fantasy Bridal in Utah, with thoughtful pearl jewelry that accented her gorgeous ring (which was designed by Gunner!).
After the bridal party and family portraits, it was time for the ceremony! The weather was perfect, a soft overcast day but still comfortably warm, as they exchanged beautiful vows to one another.
Their reception had delicious charcuterie, fruit, donuts, and a soda bar for guests to enjoy as they visited with the newlywed couple. The friends and family that surrounded Gunner and Annie were so kind, thoughtful, and fun!
Their reception consisted of speeches, a photo game, cutting the cake, and first dances before their dance party!
I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a bride who loves to dance as much as Annie- she didn’t leave the party for one minute, even to get a drink! There was a spontaneous limbo bar, congo line, and groomsmen hoisting Gunner into a chair over the crowd!
After a bouquet toss, they were sent off by their loved ones by a smokey sparkler exit- lucky for me, I got to see them the next day at their temple sealing!
