Spring is in Bloom | Real Wedding

With planning + coordination by Jubilee Events and floral design by Hana Floral Design and Hello Darling, today's real wedding is all kinds of sweet. And lucky for us Photography Ali + Julie was there to capture all of the precious moments.

From Jubilee Events, "Taylor and Mike… they're the type of people you want to just hug and squeeze because they make you laugh and smile so hard your cheeks hurt."

"This couple's infectious grins and sweet personalities, so eminent in their love for one another. Their perfect laughs that warmed your heart, even if you didn’t know why you were laughing yet you couldn’t help but join in."

"We stopped in to hear some music at a bar and started talking about how much fun we always have together and how we hate spending time apart, and Mike said, "Well, on that note..." and got down on one knee."

"We were drinking beers and eating wings. It might not sound that romantic, but to me it was because it reflected who we are as a couple--we love to relax, be together, and have fun."
