Summer Wedding at Nakoma Resort || Sarah & Glenn

Sara and Glenn had the most incredible summer wedding at Nakoma Resort!! They celebrated all day with their favorite people, check it out!

They both got ready in the villas with their wedding parties and families, and it was a slight overcast day that morning. It started to drizzle a little bit which turned into rain and hail for about 30 minutes, and we are all collectively freaking out a little bit haha. Thankfully, the weather lightened up and it was the most beautiful sunny day to celebrate their wedding!

Ceremony at Nakoma Resort

After Sarah and Glenn got ready, we took some getting ready photos and headed to Nokoma resort. They shared the first look together and then we headed out back to take photos of the bridal party and their families. Their wedding details were absolutely to die for. I captured all the beautiful florals and signage while guest started to arrive. Then it was time for their ceremony and it was filled with so much love tears and heartfelt vowels that they both shared to each other. They said I do and did the damn thing!! Also their ceremony exit is probably one of my favorites ever ha ha, they’re just so happy and joyful, and you can clearly see that on their faces.

Nakoma Wedding Reception

The entire reception was filled with so much celebration. Sarah and Glenn absolutely love going to concerts and listening to dance music and that’s basically what they did all evening. We turned on some Rufus and jammed out during sunset photos, and they shared lots of speeches with all their favorite people. Then the dance floor began, and They choreographed an epic first dance with lots of lifts, and wow, everybody. The dance floor opened up at Nokoma and they dance the night away till the early hours of the next morning.
