The wedding day has arrived! Harper and Trey’s wedding took place at Abella Farm Weddings and Events and on quite possibly the hottest day of the summer! The sun was shining and it was a beautiful day. Amy Zaroff Events and Design brought in the best of the best vendors to make this day everything that Harper and Trey could have dreamed of! It spoke to both of them - a small town meets the big city! What I loved about Harper and Trey is how thoughtful they were in planning this wedding for their guests. There were fun activities while everyone was getting ready, a popcorn and lemonade refreshment as guests arrived and one of the best bands in the country for entertainment. They focused on bold colors, including the entire spectrum of the rainbow. They wanted their day to be filled with joy, modern art design and the great Midwest.

The absolute best part of the day though was hearing Harper and Trey read their vows to one another. They are a couple who inspires everyone around them with their love. I think everyone learned more about Harper and Trey through their vows as well. Whether it was their story or how they support one another in their relationship, we all left the ceremony so excited for these two and their marriage!

I meantioned this in Part 1 of their blog post, but this is officially the longest blog post I’ve ever done! They day was filled with so many moments, I felt it deserved this many images. So, without further adieu, enjoy Harper + Trey’s wedding!

LOVEe

Maddy and Zach have a love story that is truly layered with love stories. The couple met when they were younger in school. The story goes that Maddy would always ask Zach for a piece of gum and return the wrapper with a little note on it. Years later, when Zach proposed, he had kept all of those sweet notes and it was a great reminder of how their love had grown over the years. Layer in another love story. Zach also proposed with Maddy’s mother’s original wedding ring from her late father, Dan Wagner. It was so important for the family to keep his memory alive and having this ring is truly such a beautiful tribute!

Speaking of Tributes, let’s layer in another love story. 16 years ago, Maddy’s mother remarried an incredible man named Tres who gave the *best speech about their family coming together. He spoke about how Jennifer and Dan laid the foundation for a beautiful life and he felt honored to carry on loving Maddy. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the room during this speech or the father / daughter dance. And the final layer to Zach and Maddy’s love story is that their wedding took place on the same weekend and the same property that Jennifer and Tres were married.

Now Maddy and Zach get to carry on and add to this incredible story, which is filled with family, hope, healing and love. It was such a pleasure to be a part of documenting their day and it was actually golden. The light streamed through the reception as they danced the night away. It. Was. Perfect.

Congratulations to the new Mr. and Mrs. Grochowski!
