There’s no higher honor than when a couple wants you to photograph their wedding day. It’s even more of an honor when they pick their day around you! Meredith and Kevin reached out to me when they began planning their Bellevue Hall wedding in 2020. They told me they loved my work and wanted to pick their date around my schedule! I couldn’t believe it and I am still so flattered to this day.
Since we all know how 2020 went, they sadly had to reschedule to 2021. Honestly, I’m not mad at it, because wowowow WOW! They had the perfect October day at Bellevue Hall and every detail was *chef’s kiss*.
When Meredith told me their day was going colorful and vibrant with an emerald green focus, I squealed! Seeing what my couples dream up for their wedding days is always such a treat. I’m obsessed with emerald green and their warm toned flowers complimented it so beautifully. They imagined a lively, colorful celebration with all their loved ones and I think they nailed it!
Their first look kicked off the day and it was the sweetest moment! My favorite thing is when couples include their puppers in their day, so I was elated to meet Bob! He’s the best boy and sat like an angel for his photos.
After some fun couples portraits, we dove into wedding party shenanigans! This was one heck of a wedding party, and the style was on point! I’m obsessed with the emerald green color scheme they picked. Bellevue Hall is full of beautiful spots for portraits, and the grounds are big enough for the largest of wedding parties.
Finally ceremony time!! I couldn’t wait to see Meredith and Kevin get married, especially after they waited an extra 365 days for it! Their Bellevue Hall wedding was long anticipated by everyone, and I know their families were radiating nothing but joy. They got married under the big tree on the back of Bellevue Hall’s property and it was soooo dreamy!
And of course we had to sneak off for a few sunset portraits! Meredith and Kevin had scoped out some more secluded spots in Bellevue State Park and they ended up finding a field of blue flowers. We hopped in a car, popped over, and made some dreamy portraits! Once the sun dipped behind the trees, we headed back to the party and got it going! The reception is always a favorite of mine to photograph, and theirs is no exception! Everyone was ready to celebrate and we had a blast dancing and photographing all the fun. I will always love this sweet couple and their beautiful Bellevue Hall wedding. Cheers to the Byrnes!!
