Such an amazing day filled with lots of sentimental moments, lots of family and friends and most definitely lots of love.  Josh and Stephanie booked us a couple years in advance for the coveted 8-18-18 wedding date.  They had lots of time to search out venues that would be perfect to host their large group of peeps.  With some thoughtful consideration they decided that there could be no better place to have it than at the family's homestead.  So a pond was dug and field was mowed and the most perfect venue was born.  The rustic alter was placed strategically to incorporate the most amazing vista and the hay bale pews made comfortable seating for all their guests.  Small hearts sewn into Stephanie's dress made from her grandparents clothes, butterflies released in memory of those no longer here, and a special surprise mother daughter dance were just a few of the touching moments that made this day so special.  We hope you enjoy looking through the images of the sweet day.  Be sure to scroll through their images to the end so you can leave them some love in the comments.   100JMS_7028-Edit The day started with a treasure trove of memories... 101JMS_7033-Edit 102JMS_7046-Edit 103VVS_3824-Edit 104JMS_7051-Edit 106JMS_7069-Edit 108JMS_7098-Edit L 109JMS_7124-Edit When she said yes to this dress, she knew what she was doing!  Absolutely stunning!
