Backyard Wedding: Ben and Julie

This is a must see wedding!! We had no idea that this wedding was going to be so much fun and above and beyond gorgeous! The day was filled with a genuine excitement. The excitement started as Julie got ready for the day with her family and friends, then took a special limo ride with just her parents to go see her groom…

Can you tell which of her bridesmaids is her twin?

Ben waited for her bride in a quiet forest next to the church… It was such an emotional moment (even for us!). The held each others’ hands and prayed for each other. It was incredibly special!

Julie’s dad was beyond calm and collected for the whole morning, but at the moment that he brought her to the front of the aisle, he broke out into the most loving and uncontrollable tears! It was so beautiful!

Who knew Ben was such a comedian?! His vows were hysterical!

Not only did the groomsmen get special Ninja Turtle socks…but the Dad’s did too!

Their wedding party made the day extra fun! We loved every minute with them.

What do you think…is the groomsman holding the camera? Or is Matt climbing on a narrow pole?

This swing was put in by Julie’s Dad just for the wedding. Whatever the bride wants!

The Wedding party had their own entrances and dance offs to start off the reception on the right foot!

Cleanest cake cutting knife ever!

This was one of the sweetest moments we’d ever experienced at a reception! A few of Ben’s best friends hiked up the Chief and filmed the whole thing as they prepared for Ben’s proposal to Julie. Then Ben and Julie came to the top of the mountain as well and they captured the moment he asked her to marry him. The great thing was that Julie had no idea it was being filmed, and didn’t know until this moment when they surprised her with a film showing the whole process and the final proposal. It was so great to see her excitement and emotion when re-living this amazing time in their lives!

Of course the boys learned a choreographed dance to the Backstreet Boys for the reception! You can watch the video here as well!
