From the moment we arrived at the venue, we could feel the excitement in the air.

The day began with both Andrea and Paul getting ready at the barn with their wedding parties. The atmosphere was a blend of excitement and anticipation, with laughter echoing through the rooms as final touches were made. Andrea looked stunning as Sylvia from Salon Tika styled her hair, and Kelli Ringler perfected her makeup. Her radiant smile and joyful energy were contagious, setting the tone for the entire day.

One of the highlights of the morning was the arrival of a cream-colored vintage car, adding a touch of classic elegance to the day. The car became a key element in their first look, a moment filled with emotion and anticipation.
