Ironworkers Wedding

Filed in weddings shot by Ayres Photography on May 12, 2021 at

We really appreciate when a bride and groom go out of their way to make their wedding day undeniably about them and their families, and that’s exactly what Allyson and Alex did. There was so much about this day that we absolutely loved. From saying their vows in Allyson’s childhood Parish, to using Alex’s father’s 53 Chevy as their getaway car, Al + Al put their own stamp all over their day and it truly made every single second that much more special. We could list out all of the other personal touches that they included, like the heirloom jewelry and the reason behind their music selections, but the list goes on for quite some time, so we’ll just let the photos do the talking :)

Allyson: “Getting married in my childhood church with the sun beaming through the stained glass windows was somewhere I always imagined I would start a new life with my partner in crime.“

Alex: “It certainly was a dream come true celebrating our love with all of our family and friends on our wedding day.“

Allyson: “Alex is very simple and easy to please. He doesn’t ask for much and is very hardworking. He doesn’t let obstacles get in the way of his dream. We can only hope our-e son is just like him! (We are expecting our first baby in June 2021!)“

Allyson: “The amount of time planning and coordinating a wedding really takes patience. Although you would love to plan every single detail, there comes a time where you need to determine how much stress it will add to your planning. Guests aren’t going to remember if you have chair covers or colored napkins that matched exactly to your wedding color. They are going to remember the bride and groom combining their families and celebrating their love with everyone.“

Allyson: “We danced to ‘Never Stop’ by Safety Suit (the wedding version). Our favorite lyric from the song is ‘You are my life, my love, my only and that’s the one thing that won’t change.’ It really means that no matter what happens along your journey you are going to do it together just as you have from day 1.“

Allyson + Alex: “We never took professional photos together, we had Ayres photography capture everything from our engagement photos to our wedding day. They certainly made us feel comfortable in front of the camera. On our wedding day there were points where we forgot someone was capturing our every move! Jenn was so organized on certain photos/styles we wanted and made sure we completed them before the end of the night. Jenn and Ben were so respectful on when we wanted to arrive at our venue and spend time the most amount of time with our loved ones on our wedding day.“

We can’t stress enough how important it is to thoughtfully and carefully select your wedding vendors. You’ll be spending a lot of time with these people, and especially in times of unpredictable wedding day crisis, you’ll want to have the best possible team of vendors in your corner. That way, no matter what the day throws at you, whether it’s rain, sleet, or most recently, a global pandemic, you’ll feel confident that your big day is in good hands.

For example, when Mother Nature steps in and unexpectedly dumps a whole bunch of rain on your wedding day, (and just in time for your outdoor ceremony, too), there’s really only so much that you can do about it. Luckily Krista and Jim were able to take it all in stride while their amazing vendors, including the ever brilliant Syrie of Social Maven Event Planning, took over to re-create their beautiful outdoor garden ceremony under a covered patio at the very last minute. It was so seamless that unless you read the invitation you wouldn’t even know that it wasn’t their original plan. Between the gorgeous furniture rentals, impeccable florals, amazing signage, and overly accommodating vendors, it really didn’t matter where they said their vows. It was bound to be perfect, and it was.

Take a leisurely scroll through Krista and Jim’s beautiful wedding to check out how amazingly it all came together despite the inclement weather. Like a little pot of gold at the end of the rainbow, you’ll get their full list of dream team vendors at the end!
