To kick off the wedding portion of our real weddings series, we are happy to share photos of the day Kristen and Deke got married. Their relationship and marriage has developed through distance, since Deke is oftentimes away flying as an Air Force pilot overseas. Despite their time apart, Kristen is steadfast in her loyalty and admiration for him. These two tied the knot at a gorgeous lodge overlooking a lake in Hartland, Michigan, and boy, are the photos amazing. The bride created a rustic elegant atmosphere by working with the venue's charm and adding lanterns, candles, burlap, and twine. In every single photo, the love these two have for each other shines through. Have a look at all the details that made their day picture perfect.
