Their wedding weekend started early with welcoming all of their out-of-town friends and family to Greenville.  Chelsey and Jared hosted a gathering at their home on Friday which set the stage for their laid back celebration!

I loved walking into the bridal suite on Saturday to see Chelsey’s best ladies getting dolled up!  They all met playing field hockey in college and have stuck pretty tight ever since.  Everyone was upbeat and ready to celebrate Chelsey and Jared’s marriage!

Chelsey and Jared decided to do a First Look.  They liked the idea of calming their nerves, spending time together, and getting to their reception as quickly as possible.  They had the sweetest moment together ending with a twirl of the bride!!  In the middle of a pose, Jared looked at me and said “I knew I would like the First Look, but man, I’m so glad we did it now!”  Chelsey agreed and said, “yeah, I feel so much better now!”  After their time together, we met up with their best friends for wedding party pictures on the patio.  They have to coolest group of people and I’m so lucky to have met each one!

With tears in her groom’s eyes and a sweet smile from her father, Chelsey made her entrance down the staircase of Old Cigar Warehouse.  Their ceremony was so heartfelt we were all tearing up!  In no time at all, they were enjoying delicious southern food with their guests and dancing the night away!  I’ve seen way over 150 receptions and I can say, the energy was crazy!  These people would have danced all night long!

I love these photographs in the middle of downtown Greenville!

Dinner in the cellar!

Can you tell I love this view from Old Cigar Warehouse’s staircase?  It is one of the many things that makes this venue so unique.

Those field hockey days paid off for the bouquet toss!

I’m in love with their slideshow!!
