ERIN & BLAKE
Erin and Blake’s wedding at The Gathering Place was a day to remember. From the moment the morning started, there was a calm joy in the air. Their love for each other and for their families shined through every single smile. Captured beautifully by SHP Team photographers Anna and Kara, with Jacinda on video, the entire day felt incredibly special.
A Ceremony Filled With Love and Faith
When Erin opened a letter from Blake that morning, tears filled her eyes. It set the tone for a day overflowing with emotion and connection.
Erin and Blake’s ceremony took place in a stunning Catholic church surrounded by friends and family. Every part of it reflected who they are… faithful, loving, and full of grace. The ceremony itself was focused on faith and the couple’s love for God. And the way Blake looked at Erin said everything words couldn’t. Each vow, each smile, and every glance told their story of devotion and joy.
Golden Hour Magic
After the ceremony, everyone made their way to the reception at The Gathering Place. The venue’s lakeside view and wide-open fields created the perfect backdrop for portraits. As the sun began to set, every glance between Erin and Black was a gorgeous photo waiting to happen.
Erin’s simple, elegant dress and intricate braid looked stunning in the soft evening light. Blake couldn’t take his eyes off her, and it was easy to see the romantic spark between the two of them.
Family, Laughter, and Meaningful Moments
What stood out most about this wedding at The Gathering Place was the love between both families. Each parent spoke about how blessed they felt to welcome their new son- or daughter-in-law. Erin’s bond with her dad was especially touching. Their sweet moments together brought smiles and happy tears to everyone watching.
As the night continued, laughter filled the air. Guests enjoyed dancing, good food, and light-hearted conversations. The joy was contagious, spreading through every corner of the venue.
A Perfect Ending to a Perfect Day
One of the most unforgettable parts of the evening was a surprise from Erin’s dad. He performed a hilariously sweet song for the couple that had everyone smiling and tearing up. It was the perfect ending to a celebration already overflowing with love and joy.
The laughter, the happy tears, and the golden sunset made this wedding at The Gathering Place one to remember. From start to finish, Erin and Blake’s day was a celebration of love, faith, and family. Congratulations and thank you so much for including us in your special day!
