This year’s wedding season kicked off with Gabrialla and Joel's early spring wedding at Red Barn Acres in Fremont, IN. Brought together by a sister's introduction, Joel and Gabrialla spent time building a strong friendship before taking the first steps towards forever together. Needless to say, this wedding fulfilled the hopes and dreams of anyone who knows them.
The day started out with family gathered around to ensure Gabrialla looked and felt her absolute best for her big day. Time for hair and makeup!
Once Gabrialla's hair and makeup were completed, it was time for the dress. After taking a moment to take in the sight of Gabrialla in her wedding gown, both bridesmaids and the mother of the bride swooped in to help with the finishing touches.
Across the way in The Cave, Joel began to dress for the biggest day of his life. Surrounded by his groomsmen, Joel took care to confirm everything was in order, including the rings.
With Gabrialla ready to walk down the aisle, it was time for the girl's pre-wedding photos. Bouquets in hand, converse laced up, let's rock this!
Of course outside The Cave, it's time for the groomsmen to take one last pre-wedding pose with Joel before he's off to capture his first look of the bride-to-be.
Prior to seeing Joel, Gabrialla made sure to share the very first look with her father. Fully transformed from daughter to bride, Dad conveyed his love before sending Gabrialla off to her soon-to-be husband.
After family and friends helped prepare them every step of the way, it was finally time for Gabrialla and Joel to share their first look. Nervous smiles and laughter were hard to keep at bay as the couple shared this private moment alone before their ceremony.
Finally, the time has come for the big "I-Do's."
After all the anticipation, it's time for the two to become one.
It's official! They said, "I Do!"
Well, actually once they sign the marriage license THEN it'll be "official" for this newlywed couple.
It's time to party! But first, cake...
With grateful bellies full from dinner and sweet treats, it's time for the couple to share their first dance together as husband and wife.
While the dance party rages on at the reception, Joel and Gabrialla take a moment alone to reflect on their day with private sunset photos.
With all my love and joy, I wish The Stallers the greatest of days ahead and the strongest love that will carry them through every twist and turn together. Happy the rest of your days, Joel and Gabrailla!
