TRADITIONAL NAVY AND BLUSH RESORT GOLF COURSE WEDDING Josh + Kelsey | Married

When I photographed Kelsey and Josh’s engagement session back in February, I just knew that their wedding was going to be an amazing day.  Their wedding was going to take place at the gorgeous Resort that Kelsey’s family owns and runs, the same Resort that we photographed at on that unseasonably warm February day.  A Resort that has much personal meaning to Kelsey, as she grew up there, and to Kelsey and Josh together, since they live there now.  The resort was lovely in February and in September…it was just breathtaking. But not nearly as lovely as the relationships that we got to see come to life between Kelsey, Josh, and their loved ones.  Kelsey has a big family, and they wanted to include everyone in their wedding party- so that involved 10 bridesmaids, 10 groomsmen, and 10 little ones as flower girls and ring bearers.  It was just so much fun- truly!  Each person was as kind as the next, as kind as Kelsey and Josh, and as excited about their marriage as the couple themselves were. Kelsey and Josh with the help of their lovely planner Carolyn dreamed up such a classically beautiful day with traditional and lovely details, and it all came to life so incredibly well as you will see!  We started with details at Kelsey’s parents home.
