Alexa & Bill | Wedded Bliss in a Winter Wonderland | Wichita, KS

A year ago today, Alexa & Bill tied the knot in an absolute winter wonderland. In the days prior to their wedding day, we sort of joked (with no real expectation) about how awesome it would be if it snowed. When the day came closer and snow was a maybe in the forecast, I started praying for it! Nothing crazy, you know, just a light pretty snow for some pretty pictures. 

Well, it not only snowed...there was pretty much a full-on blizzard. A slight driving hazard, yes. BUT IT WAS SO WORTH IT. You'll see what I mean if you keep on scrolling down. 

The day had a certain enchantment about it...and it wasn't just the snow. If you've ever had the pleasure of meeting these two you know that they have something absolutely contagious about them. They are two of the most intentional, kind, caring, goofy, spontaneous, & God-Fearing people that I have ever had the pleasure of calling friends! And just like them, their day held many of the same characteristics. It was full of sweet teary moments, a ceremony centered on Christ, a spontaneous photo shoot in the blizzard, and so many other noteworthy moments. Alexa & Bill did everything they could to show those who were there to support them just how much they meant to them. You could tell the from their guests that those feelings were mutual! 

Without further ado, Alexa & Bill everyone; the high school sweethearts that are filled with a love so deep & so sweet that you can't help but notice.

THE RECEPTION

Alexa & Bill didn't have a dance; rather they personally served cake to their guests and had conversation cards at each table. Then they went around and spoke with each guest! These two are absolutely energized by serving and investing in others!

Alexa & Bill, HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!! Thank you for allowing Conlee and me to capture and share in your beautiful wedding day! It's a grand day etched in my mind. And thank you for being constant examples of Christ's love both on your wedding day and outside of it. Love you guys! 

And last but not least, Conlee! Thank you. Thank you for sharing your talent with all of the 2017 EYP couples, for all of your hard work on wedding days and for your sweet, sweet friendship over the past year (this was our first wedding together)! I'm truly blessed by you, friend. 

xoxo, 
Emma
