Saranda + Austin: Receptions Event Centers Wedding Day

Saranda & Austin got married last month and I had the honor of documenting it for them! They tied the knot at Receptions Event Centers in Erlanger, Kentucky and everything came together so perfectly & made their wedding day a dream to capture! I arrived at Receptions right as Saranda was ready to get into her dress. Her dress was absolutely stunning and so perfect for her. Once she was dressed & ready, we headed outside for photos with her bridesmaids!

While I was taking photos of Saranda & her girls, my second shooter, Dylan, was hanging out with Austin & his guys. After they took their formal photos, it was time for Austin to have a first look with his daughter, Paisley. This was such a precious moment to witness and Paisley absolutely lit up seeing her dad’s reaction to seeing her all dressed up. This was one of my favorite moments from the entire day!

After photos, it was time for the ceremony! This ceremony was filled with so much emotion, starting with Austin’s reaction to seeing Saranda for the first time. Cue the tears!! Saranda & Austin wrote their own vows to one another, but Saranda also wrote vows to Paisley. I don’t think there was a dry eye while she read them to her, this meant so much to Paisley and was such a special touch! Once the ceremony was over, we headed back outside for portraits of Saranda & Austin together. Even though we had had a sunny day thus far, the storm clouds began to roll in & we got their portraits taken right before the rain started!

I absolutely love wedding receptions at Receptions Event Centers. The wooden beams & twinkle lights always photograph beautifully and guests always have such a great time. Saranda & Austin added a photo booth & dessert bar and, after speeches, had the BEST cake cutting, followed by an even better cake smashing! They shared their first dance, danced with their parents, and then invited Paisley up for a family dance. Once the dance floor was open, everyone was up & out there and having the best time! This was such a fun reception and the perfect way to end such an incredible wedding day! Saranda & Austin, I am SO beyond happy for you two! Congratulation, again!!
