Where do we start with these two?? After our first time face-timing with them, we knew we were going to get along great! Their engagement session proved that and we cannot believe their wedding day has come and gone!! Ilse and Luis are both so calm, kind, and genuine!
Ilse and Luis have been through it all with wedding planning after postponing their 2020 wedding. However, in our opinion it worked out perfectly because that meant we got to be there to capture their day in 2021! 😉 And their wedding at Edinburgh West was dreamy!!
When we arrived to photograph Ilse’s details and grab some shots of her getting ready, everyone was so calm and collected! Often times we walk into a room full of all the bridesmaids, jamming to music and running around getting ready…and don’t get us wrong, we love a good party to start the day! But Ilse had a completely relaxed atmosphere around her and it was a perfect chill morning!
We don’t normally make a special trip to photograph the guys getting ready, because let’s be honest, real getting ready photos are usually the last thing they want to do! However, we stopped by where Luis and his guys were getting ready and grabbed some of him! Luis was an excellent sport and we LOVE how these turned out!!
Ilse and Luis had an epic first look out front of Edinburgh West! The gate is one of our favorite parts of this unique venue and having this special moment for them in front of it was perfect!!
After many prayers for good weather, we had an amazingly sunny (and HOT) day!! We were definitely all keeping an eye on the sky during their ceremony because it looked threatening!! But, as we walked past the gate to take some more portraits we spotted a rainbow and that was just the reminder we needed! God knew the plan for their day!
Ilse and Luis carried on some fun traditions at their reception which had us all laughing, and they danced the night away!! They shared a sweet last dance together with just the two of them before they walked outside to a firework send off!
