It’s here! We are truly excited to share all the beautiful moments from Juliana and Porter’s Big Cedar Wedding Weekend! It’s not often we get the opportunity to photograph all the events surrounding a wedding weekend, so this was such an amazing four days! For Juliana and Porter, there was nothing more important than celebrating this joyous occasion with their closest family and friends! And there were so many beautiful moments that we had to split this blog feature into two parts!

Thursday evening arrived and all the festivities were underway! After their Rehearsal at Integrity Hills, they made their way to Elk Cove! The Rehearsal Dinner was set on the bluff top looking out over Table Rock Lake! Although there was a bit of rain throughout the day, Kate and Company and Exclusive Events created the most gorgeous evening! Everything from gorgeous florals to the amazing food by 23 City Blocks was absolutely perfect!

The next morning we joined Juliana and her favorite girls for a Bridal Brunch! This took place at the lovely home that sits on Integrity Hills! The view of Table Rock Lake from the back of this gorgeous house was such a perfect setting for this little get together! Juliana gifted her Bridesmaids robes and custom monogramed bags while everyone enjoyed tasty breakfast treats and mimosas!

Friday evening arrived, and we were off to the amazing Welcome Party at the Historic Worman House! This beautiful area of Big Cedar Lodge was perfect for a gathering to celebrate the soon to be newlyweds! Juliana and Porter greeted their family and friends and enjoyed cocktails and dinner as the sun was setting over the lake! The highlight of the evening was the Kibbeh Parade! Dancing and live music filled the evening, so much excitement heading into Saturday, the wedding day!
