Jake and Claudia’s Thistlewood Manor Wedding

This wedding at Thistlewood Manor was quite a stunner and Jake and Claudia were the perfect pair.  I loved working with them and capturing the way that Jake looked at his beautiful bride throughout the day.

Meet Leila, their sweet pup! I should note that this cutie runs around like a brand new baby deer.  Like that’s just how she walks and it is the most adorable thing I’ve ever seen! She was well taken care of on Jake and Claudia’s big day at Thistlewood Manor.

Let’s talk about how Thistlewood Manor is a photographer’s dream.  Not only are there TONS of great spots for beautiful photography backdrops, but the inside is white and it is just so easy to shoot at.

Claudia had a few “first looks” before the ceremony.  I don’t blame her- she looked freaking stunning and the reactions from her family and friends were perfect!

I don’t think these two took a bad picture the entire day.

I am really loving these grooms in blue suits lately.  It’s such a classic color and looks great on everyone.

Here comes Leila!! I loved that Thislewood Manor allowed this sweet pup to be a part of Jake and Claudia’s big day.  You could tell she was so excited to be there!

This first look with Claudia and her dad couldn’t have been more perfect.  He was SOO EXCITED when he turned around and he gave her a huge hug.  And what a beautiful spot to do it- indoors in this gorgeous, light and airy space!

I did mention that there were tons of places for photographs at Thistlewood Manor, right? Well, if you needed some proof now you’ve got it…

And here we go… CEREMONY TIME! Jake’s dad officiated the ceremony and check out his beautiful mom checking him out as she’s walking with her son down the aisle!

“I put my hand upon your hip
When I dip you dip we dip
You put your hand upon my hip
When you dip I dip we dip…”

Seriously, these guys were PROS at the dip!

And check out these rings… WOWZA!

This day wouldn’t have been possible without such a stellar group of vendors working together and I am so happy I got to work with them!
