Abigail & Ethan | Shrine of St. Anthony & Turf Valley Resort Wedding
There’s something so special about wedding days that blend deep family roots, sacred moments, and wild celebration — and Abigail & Ethan’s day was the perfect mix of all three.
The morning began at Abigail’s parents’ house, surrounded by laughter, excitement, and the comforting familiarity of home. Her mom helped her into her dress — a moment full of tenderness and love — and then came one of the sweetest moments of the day: the dad reveal. His reaction said it all. There wasn’t a dry eye in the room as he saw his little girl as a bride for the first time.
Abigail’s bridesmaids’ reveal followed — pure joy, excitement, and lots of happy tears as they took in their stunning friend ready to walk down the aisle.
Abigail and Ethan shared a first look in the serene gardens of the Shrine of St. Anthony. It was intimate, peaceful, and full of quiet anticipation before their ceremony began. The light was perfect, the courtyard calm, and their expressions said everything about how ready they were to say “I do.”
The Shrine ceremony was traditional and heartfelt, filled with meaningful moments and beautiful music. Watching them exchange vows and take communion surrounded by family and friends was such a reflection of their faith and connection.
After the ceremony, we took family photos and couple portraits in the courtyard — one of our favorite parts of the day! The soft stone arches and manicured gardens made for such a timeless backdrop. Abigail and Ethan were glowing — that just-married joy radiating through every photo.
Then it was time to celebrate — and wow, this crew knew how to party! The reception at Turf Valley Resort was beautifully styled with soft pastels, gold accents, and lush floral centerpieces. Everything felt bright, romantic, and joyful.
But the night? Completely unhinged — in the best way. From hilarious, heartfelt speeches to nonstop dancing, the energy never dipped. Their friends and family celebrated with full hearts and open arms, and the dance floor was absolutely packed.
The parent dances were especially sweet — tender and emotional moments that honored the people who raised and loved them into who they are today.
As the night went on, laughter echoed, shoes came off, and joy took over. Abigail & Ethan’s wedding was one of those nights no one wanted to end — the kind of day that perfectly reflects two people madly in love and surrounded by their favorite people in the world.
