The Nelsons
Nelson Wedding
Est. 02 | 16 | 19
Lily & Jesse tied the knot at Rosie Creek Farms in Panama City, Fl on February 16, 2019. They had a navy blue and coral color palette for a rustic barn themed wedding.
After the hurricane, Lily contacted me about photographing their wedding. Lily doesn’t live in Florida and she was so sure about booking CMC that we didn’t even hold a consultation meeting, we just booked over text & email. Not too long after, Lily and I realized we actually knew each other!! Her and I rode the bus home together in elementary school and sat together nearly every day. Her childhood home was only one rode up from mine.
When Lily told me her wedding was at Rosie Creek Farms, I got so excited! RCF is so gorgeous and photographs beautifully. I highly recommend checking them out when looking for a wedding venue. Wendy, the owner, is sweet and detail oriented. She makes sure your venue is exactly how you imagined and takes care of it so well to ensure no one wedding messes up the venue for the following weddings.
Lily’s mom and aunts gave Lily’s late grandmother’s bracelet with her late grandfather’s birthstone.
This bracelet. was for Lily wear on her wedding day as her something old and something borrowed.
Her aunt also pinned two pennies to Lily’s dress, one with the year her grandmother was born and the other with the year her grandfather was born , so Lily could have them with her on her wedding day.
Like most weddings, we were running a little behind schedule and guests also arrived a bit early. They were already seated, but Lily had to make it over to the house so she could walk down the aisle. We asked the guests to close their eyes as Lily walked over so they didn’t see her until she walked down the aisle.
Oh & if I have time at the reception, I like to put a little slideshow together of sneak peeks from the day! My couples love when I do this!!!! Here is the bride & her two sisters watching it.
Here’s to many years for Jesse & Lily- I pray for the best!
