The day Alexis and Wesley would say, “I Do” under chandeliers in Calvert, Texas at Under the Chandelier with their family and friends as witnesses.
Where It All Began…
Alexis and Wesley met nine years ago while attending a church camp. The were “together” for two years before they could have their first date. Her parents had a rule that Alexis could go on a date until she turned eighteen years old. Wesley waited patiently for that birthday. When Alexis’s birthday arrived, the two of them went out to their favorite place to eat and then rushed back to make sure Alexis didn’t miss curfew.
They would often visit their favorite park and during one visit they discovered a trail that went to a lake and had a small “island” in the middle. During one such visit to this park, Wesley asked Alexis if she remembered when she said she would marry him with paper rings. She said, “Yes!” He then gave her a paper ring and placed in on her ring finger. She thought it was so cute! Wesley then asked her if she was going to take a picture of the paper ring. Alexis remembers thinking that the question was a bit strange, but she replied, “Of course.” She turned around to snap a cute picture of the ring and when she turned back around to face Wesley she noticed he was opening a small box. He then said, “Well, then would you marry me with this one?”
Alexis and Wesley…
The two of them truly enjoy spending time with one another. Their typical date includes going to Sapporo and eating way too much followed by taking a nap! Their dream vacation includes staying a small cabin in the mountains of Colorado in the fall surrounded by the beautiful views as the colorful leaves dance in the cool breeze as they take hikes everyday - followed by a nap.
Their relationship can be summed up in five words - “Always there for each other.” They are truly best friends. Alexis says she loves that Wesley thinks about others before himself. Wesley says he loves that Alexis is always there for him.
Alexis and Wesley, you two are surrounded by so much love from your family and friends. I am honored you asked me to capture memories from your wedding day. The love that everyone has for you two is literally indescribable and I am beyond blessed that I was able to witness that and capture that for you on your wedding day.
