Norland Summer Wedding Photos [Joshua & Christina]
A lot of love and hard work went into creating Christina and Joshua’s wedding. Nearly every little detail was created by them or their friends and family! Most notably, their bouquets were all handmade; Christina’s aunt performed the ceremony; and Christina baked almost every item on the dessert table, with her bridesmaids filling out the rest such as their cake.
Their wedding day was so joyous. Everyone was constantly joking, laughing, and hugging. Christina and Joshua lit up every time they were together and totally melted into each other arms. It was so fantastic that their children could spend the entire day with them.
The rain held off just long enough for them to get the Norland summer wedding photos they had hoped for. When we finally had a moment to go outside for some evening photos, luck would have it that that’s when it decided to rain! Christina’s parasol fortunately doubled as an umbrella and they were awesome being willing to stand out in the rain for a few minutes to get those pictures.
At the end of the day they held their reception in the new ballroom at The Norland Bed and Breakfast. The entire room smelled like Christina’s homemade cookies :)
Congratulations, Joshua and Christina!
From Christina’s shoes to the gorgeous tablecloths, I loved the shimmering accents throughout their wedding.
Someone with the guys tried to send a sneak peek, but they quickly hid the phone from Christina :)
Christina’s uncle walked her down the aisle.
At the start of their ceremony, they lit candles in memory of Christina’s father and Josh’s mother.
I think the award for cutest wedding guest goes to…
Someone was a fan of the parasols ;)
Rocco loved harassing his aunty in between photos :)
Enjoying a tickle attack from his grandpa :)
Once again, the hammock was the favorite hang out spot for the kids!
Remember how I said they designed most of the wedding themselves? Christina even embroidered her own veil!
In her heels, Christina is taller than even me, so I was very excited to use these flowers that towered over all of us!
After a moving speech from her sister in law, guests started clinking the glasses for a kiss. Christina decided her sister was the more appropriate recipient this time! :)
Sometimes you have to share a napkin during an unexpected cry. :)
When you put together a bunch of cousins who are best friends, there’s bound to be some trouble…
…like dropping one :)
