Sweet Country Event

From Alisa Sue Photography: The simplicity, the DIY and elegance of every detail and especially the bride & groom, was such a pleasure to document. Being that the Lakeside was our first it was truly a wedding backdrop. With that being said Carly & Matt’s wedding was a perfect match to their style to their “elegant hoedown.”

Shop During The Week

From the Bride: I would advise to dress shop during the week days. It was calmer, your appointment time is longer, and your consultant has the opportunity to be very attentive. I’d also advise on a second pair of shoes, we had converse for the reception and it allowed us to really get dancing and let loose.
