We were counting down to Somaly and Chris’s Adamo Estate Winery wedding since their engagement session, because we knew how stunning these two look on any given day so undoubtedly they were beyond stunning on their wedding day!
Although they shared a loft style hotel room at the Hockley Valley Resort, we have coordinated well to not give away anything for their first look! While I was working on some bridal details, Chris got ready first and headed out the doors with Warden to the first location at the winery. Then Somaly came down to get finish off the preparation photos and I drove us to meet the boys. Ta-da, it works!
In her beautiful off-shoulder laced wedding gown, Somaly looked absolutely stunning coming up from behind Chris to ask him to turn around to see her for the first time in her wedding dress. It’s no wonder he couldn’t take his eyes off her! Their first look was a sweet intimate moment together and it was all smiles.
We have photographed the beautiful couple around the venue before families and guests arrived for group photos and ceremony. In substitution of unity candles or sand-pouring ceremony, they opted in for a vow/letter placed inside a secured wine box with a bottle of wine that they will open on their 5th year anniversary. So in five years time they will enjoy the wine and read the letters they have written for each other to reminisce on the wedding vibes- how thoughtful is that!
Somaly’s sister gave one of the best maid-of-honour/sister speech during dinner time! It was filled with energy, memories and fun that got the whole room laughing and nodding in agreement. She was young but mighty! Everyone loved her.
A handful of Somaly and Chris’ guests gathered to help with the sparkler exit outside the venue. It was so much fun for the couple to go through sparkler tunnels and have guests cheering them on!
Thank you Somaly and Chris for having us to be part of such a great wedding and document your special day with all your important people. We wish you a lifetime of happiness and blessings! Congratulations again!
