Hi, I'm Emily.

Glen Oaks Country Club Wedding by Emily Crall_0002.jpgKristal & Lucas’ wedding was the last of my 2015 wedding season and, hallelujah, it was such a stunning way to finish! Their Glen Oaks Country Club wedding was an all-in-one location affair, which made it so easy for everyone to be able to relax. The ladies got ready upstairs in the clubhouse with a huge window overlooking the croquet lawn, where their ceremony would be held. Though there was a bit of a breeze, the weather otherwise could not have been more beautiful for the end of October!

I just adore these two and I’m so thrilled to show you some of my favorites from their wedding day. They’re so sweet together, but they are also genuinely kind people who are very loyal to those who are close to them. I loved seeing them showered with so much love and support.

While I was photographing the reception room (and then some sunset photos of Kristal & Lucas–keep scrolling for those), the guests were enjoying cocktail hour out on the covered terrace, which was later turned into the dance floor.

This bridge was a lucky find, but I love how these photos turned out! It makes me feel like they’re in Scotland.
