Last week I had the pleasure of photographing Spencer & Hazuki’s fun wedding at Botanical Garden of the Ozarks. I always love shooting at BGO and boy, this celebration certainly reinforced that love!

It was a warm and humid Spring day, and friends and family bustled around the garden arranging and preparing for the guests to arrive. There is something enchantingly beautiful about the botanical garden, with lush greenery and the sweet fragrance of blooming plants on the air. It was the perfect backdrop for their bright & zesty lemon theme, which infused the entire event with a refreshing and vibrant atmosphere.

Lemons were featured everywhere from the centerpieces to the groom’s awesome tie. The vibrant yellow hues of their florals from Ollie Marie’s and thin lemon slices on their cheerful wedding cake brought a pop of color to the patio, which was the perfect reflection of the bright and fun mood that everybody shared that day.

There were so many smiles and so much laughter, and some of the sweetest happy tears. One of my favorite things as a wedding photographer is when the people I’m photographing allow their joy & sadness to be openly seen on their faces and in their body language; I love to be able to capture those incredibly special moments for my clients and give them to them forever!

The lawn was the perfect setting for a romantic and memorable wedding ceremony, and though it had been overcast most of the day, the sun peeked through the clouds and cast beautiful light on Spencer & Hazuki just in time for them to share their first kiss. They receded down the aisle in the soft glow of the sunshine, with smiles as big as the Texas sky!

When it was time to let loose and celebrate, the rock n’ roll band 90lb Wrench took charge of the reception. The lively guitar and drums filled the air, energizing the crowd and getting everyone on their feet! The dance floor became a place of uninhibited joy & celebration, with guests dancing to their favorite rock songs & creating unforgettable memories.

(P.S. One of my favorite moments of this wedding at Botanical Garden of the Ozarks was Spencer & Hazuki’s cake cutting. Scroll back up if you missed the GIF — Hazuki’s mischievous joy is contagious!)
