Real Wedding: Jenny and Blake {First Look}, Crystal Springs Resort, Lindsey Madden Photography

Jenny and Blake were married this past September at the Crystal Springs Resort in Vernon, NJ, and their day was packed with family, friends, personal details, a beautiful backdrop and one of our favorite bouquets of all time. The amazing Lindsay Madden of Lindsay Madden Photography {more gorgeous pictures on her blog}, captured the day perfectly. I thought I would share with you, for now, their first look. I happen to think the moment the bride and groom see each other for the first time, can be one of the sweetest moments of the day.

In full disclosure, I grew up a few houses from Blake and always picture him as this little kid running around playing sports. But he is all grown up and made a handsome groom! Of course Jenny was a stunning bride. We will be sure to share more of their wedding soon and we wish them all the happiness in the world. xo.
