Mr. & Mrs. Kolb | Triple 3 Vineyard | Washington, Missouri Wedding

I’ve had so much fun getting to know Cooper and Brandon over the last year! These two are such a joyful and caring pair. They welcome everyone in and truly make you feel like family friends! From the moment we arrived on their wedding day, we knew we were in for a special day! Cooper and the girls were getting ready for the day upstairs in the bridal suite at Triple 3 Vineyard. We photographed the gorgeous fall bridal details and the stunning setup in the venue while the girls prepared for the day. Triple 3 is such a beautiful venue. The space looked so elegant for Cooper and Brandon’s day. All of the pretty fall flower arrangements really brought everything to life.

Brandon was getting ready for the day in Union, Missouri at his best friend, Trey’s home. Brandon was excited for the day ahead and couldn’t wait to see Cooper for the first time at church! Cooper got ready in the groom’s room at the venue while her bridesmaids got dressed in the bridal room. Cooper’s mom helped fasten all the buttons, added the jewelry and finished off the bridal look with a beautiful veil. Cooper’s mom couldn’t stop smiling at the sight of her gorgeous daughter as a bride. Cooper wanted to do a grand reveal with the bridesmaids before sharing a first look with her dad and brothers. As all the bridesmaids turned around, the room filled with cheering and the happiest of tears.

Down by the waters edge, Cooper’s dad was waiting to share a first look with his daughter. Once Cooper was in place, she took a deep breath, and excitedly tapped her dad’s shoulder. He spun around with the biggest grin on his face! You could tell how truly proud he was in that moment! Cooper shared a special gift with her dad that had him tearing up. Next, she shared a first look with her brothers. They too were so excited for their sister.

Cooper and Brandon shared in a Lutheran ceremony at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Washington, Missouri. After the ceremony, they greeted all of their guests with the most joyful hugs and smiles! Everyone was so ecstatic for the new Mr. & Mrs. Kolb. We documented several family formals before making our way to the Fink family farm.

At the farm, we documented bridal party portraits and bride & groom portraits! Cooper’s parents have such a beautiful property, where she grew up. The fall leaves were just beginning to make their debut. Temperatures were absolutely perfect and the bridal party was so much fun to work with! Cooper and Brandon really are surrounded by the best of friends and family. Bride & groom portraits couldn’t have gone more perfectly. We drove around the farm stopping at many pretty spots! Cooper and Brandon share a love that’s palpable, so documenting their sweet connection was easy as ever!

We headed back to Triple 3 Vineyard where guests were anticipating the arrival of the bridal party! Cooper and Brandon made a grand entrance and surprised guests from the top of the staircase. The night of celebrating was officially kicked off. We whisked the newlyweds outside for a few quick sunset portraits just as the sun was beginning to set! Back inside, Cooper’s dad delivered a speech that had people cracking up laughing with all of his stories. After the toast, guests indulged in a taco buffet that was so delicious.

After dinner, a few more toasts were delivered and then Cooper and Brandon shared their first dance together as husband and wife! A live band serenaded the happy couple! The band kept the dance floor packed and made sure the guests were having the best time! Cooper and Brandon scooped ice cream together and ate ice cream cones instead of wedding cake. They had quite the dessert bar at their wedding that satisfied all!

Just before we closed out the day with Cooper and Brandon, we gathered family and friends outside on the back patio for a sparkler exit! Copper and Brandon joyfully dashed through the tunnel of their loved ones as the sparklers lit up the dark! It was the perfect ending to a perfect day!

Cooper and Brandon, thank you so much for choosing us to document your wedding day memories! You two have been amazing to work with and we’ve loved every second of it! We want to wish you both a lifetime of happiness together! Cheers to Mr. & Mrs. Kolb!!
