Bell and David

Wedding Date: August 24th 2024

Bell and David’s wedding was a perfect blend of love, family, and the outdoors, with a touch of hunting flair that suited them perfectly. Our amazing Team Photographer, Tasha, did an incredible job capturing all the beautiful moments from their special day at the Horse and Hunt Club. Bell, affectionately known as "Curly Bell" since childhood, and David met at a 4th of July party, and the sparks have been flying ever since. With David’s big family playing a huge role, the entire day was filled with love, laughter, and family connections.

The day started out with Bell and her wedding party getting ready in a cozy cabin. Bell’s sister helped her into her dress before the big reveal to her bridesmaid and you can tell how close the two are. Meanwhile, David and his groomsmen were getting ready in the Hunters Lodge. They shared their first look along a quiet path, where they exchanged tear-worthy notes with each other. And of course, Bell and David’s two dogs, Chloe and Willow, were a huge part of the celebration! These two fur-babies are their favorite “people” (besides each other) and were included in all the special moments. They even had their own adorable little outfits for the occasion, making sure they were just as much a part of the day as everyone else.

Before the ceremony, Tasha and the couple took a nature walk along some beautiful trails and even squeezed in a little trap shooting session to show off their skills. It was the perfect way to blend David’s passion for hunting with the relaxed vibe of the day. Despite the super-hot weather, everything stayed laid-back and easygoing.

The outdoor ceremony was beautiful, and one of the sweetest parts was seeing David’s relationship with his mom. The pride and love between them was so special to witness. After the sweet exchange of vows, everyone enjoyed the warm weather outside before heading inside for the reception. Just before heading in, Bell and David picked up their nieces for a fun piggyback ride, adding an extra spark of joy and laughter.

The reception was filled with heartfelt toasts that had everyone laughing one minute and wiping away tears the next. The room erupted in laughter at so many points, and you could feel the warmth and love from all their friends and family. They capped off the evening with their first dance outside on the covered patio. It was the ideal way to end a day that was both beautiful and deeply personal. Here’s to many more years of love, laughter, and outdoor adventures!
