Happy Thursday, lovely people! It has been a WEEK! The last day of school was last Friday and I kicked off my summer vacation with a portrait session in the evening, and then Luke + Elissa’s wedding bright and early on Saturday morning! 
Everyone arrived at Naumburg Mennonite Church early Saturday morning to get ready!
Luke and his brothers got ready upstairs! We needed to make sure he didn’t see Elissa before the time was right!
Elissa got mostly ready at home and was applying some final touches before putting on her dress!
Queen for a day! Mom is buttoning her sleeves, and Jennica is finishing up those nails!
Luke + Elissa shared a private first look!
Luke is fro Pennsylvania, so he brought up his Mustang on a trailer!
Next up, Bridal Party photos! Elissa has sweet friends, and Luke has great brothers!
A big thank you to Kaitlyn Lyndaker of Kaitlyn Wood Photography for helping me on this day!
We had a little bit of time between portraits and the ceremony! Look at these cuties!
Wedding Time!
Both Luke + Elissa’s dads are pastors! It was fun to see them both take part in the ceremony!
Mr. + Mrs. Luke Halteman!
Miller’s Catering brought a delicious meal!
Elissa’s cousin made yummy cupcakes and the macaroons were made by a family friend!
They had a candle lighting ceremony which I thought was super special!
Closing comments by the groom, thanking everyone for coming! Also, fun fact: The heart in front of their table was actually one of 2 that was used at Elissa’s parent’s wedding! She said it has been hanging on her bedroom wall, and she always thought it would be special to use it at her wedding, too!
Last stop: The Denmark Apple Orchard!
Luke + Elissa
Thank you so much for allowing me to have a part in your special day! It was beautiful from start to finish! I can’t wait to see how this next chapter of your lives unfolds!
Love and Well Wishes!
