If you are planning a wedding at the Mill on the River, you will love this wedding for inspiration!
The pandemic may have delayed Chelesea and Anthony’s wedding, but it didn’t stop them from tying the knot. They had a very intimate wedding at The Mill on the River, where our couple had about five guests to celebrate their new journey. But of course, technology is a great tool to utilize! They may have a small number of guests, but they had a lot of friends and family in the background virtually!
Chelesea and Anthony lovingly stared at each other as we had our first glance at their big day. We then moved forward to their intimate ceremony, where the officiant had locked their wedding after their meaningful vows to each other. While my camera and I witnessed their love story unfold.
Being the board gamers they were, they brought a deck of cards for everyone to experience and take a photo with after their matrimonial ceremony.
Chelesea and Anthony's Sweet Wedding, the 2nd Time Around
There is a saying, “love is sweeter, the second time around,” and I must say, “getting married with the love of your life twice is the best thing ever!”
Chelesea and Anthony’s second wedding is more like a renewal of vow with their guests present in the venue. They had arranged the Mill on the River to be a socially-oriented wedding venue, where everyone could hang out and be connected while playing board games and dancing. Everyone had a great time playing with the board games Anthony and Chelesea brought in the venue.
I may not have been able to take a lot of portraits outside because of the rain, but it didn’t stop our sweet couple, along with their fun friends playing and enjoying the after-party. We then moved to a brewery where Chelsea and Anthony’s close friends showed up to celebrate their special day while playing board games for the entire time.
Thank You
