Karrianne + Steve | Ostertag Vistas Wedding

October 7, 2014 Karrianne + Steve | Ostertag Vistas Wedding

This Saturday, Karrianne and Steve had the most beautiful wedding day. Much like their engagement session, we were a little cold, but they were so happy it didn’t matter. There were so many beautiful moments, and the daddy-daughter first look is easily one of my favorite moments on a wedding day that I’ve ever experienced. I don’t even have the words for how much FUN this wedding was, so I have LOTS of photos to share and they’ll speak for me :)

Thanks to Jennifer Smutek as always for being the best partner in crime, and Jordan Solander from Event Pro DJs for bringing the party! What a blast!

Ostertag Vistas is such a gorgeous rustic Maryland venue and I loved being back here! Can’t wait for the next time in a few short weeks :)

And this is when they noticed I was crying too and laughed at me.

Then it was time to see her groom! I loved this one too!

I love that Karrianne included her friend Dan in her bridal party! The bridesmaids and man!

Steve’s sister said she only makes funny faces. I think it makes this photo.

The handsome men! And also the only serious photo they took. Haha.

Their interpretation of the ‘slow walk’ groomsmen photo.

Which only got more and more ridiculous.

Love this!

The girls!

I love the spot that they chose to have their ceremony! The willow tree is such a gorgeous location!

Until of course, it attacks the groom.

Such a beautiful first dance!

ostertag-vistas-wedding_0421 ostertag-vistas-wedding_0422

A lovely speech from dad!

ostertag-vistas-wedding_0423 ostertag-vistas-wedding_0424

HILARIOUS toasts, followed by a ‘much needed’ prayer, according to their pastor.

ostertag-vistas-wedding_0425

I love Karri and her dad’s relationship – much like I am, she’s a daddy’s girl. :)

ostertag-vistas-wedding_0426

Such beautiful families!

ostertag-vistas-wedding_0427

Aaaand the party was a complete BLAST! I have NEVER seen a dance floor like this. Way to bring it, Jordan!

ostertag-vistas-wedding_0428

There’s also an excessive amount of selfies of me with guests. We had fun ;)

Thankfully to cap off the night, we had a gorgeous sunset!

    Unfortunately I could not make the wedding because I live on the other side of the country, but these photos make me feel as though I was there! Thank you so much for posting such a beautiful blog entry dedicated to this special day. The pics of Karri and her dad are priceless and the joy on Karri and Steve’s faces truly express that this was the best day of their lives :) Congrats Karri and Steve!! xo
