Crystal and Chaz :: Hamilton Farm Golf Club Wedding
I absolutely love a Hamilton Farm Golf Club wedding! Crystal and Chaz were absolutely adorable on their wedding day. Crystal wore a beautiful Jean-Ralph Thurin gown that had pockets! Her bridesmaids all wore mismatched dresses by various designers and I loved that some patterned dresses were incorporated as well! Chaz looked dapper as ever in his custom tux from Joe’s and his groomsmen stood by him in Calvin Klein, Men’s wearhouse attire. After an adorable first look between Chaz and Crystal, we got some amazing photos on the grounds of Hamilton Farm Golf Club. Their ceremony was quaint as friends and family gathered to witness their vows to each other. After the ceremony, we were able to sneak away for some more images of Crystal and Chaz together – and I could not have been happier and more excited to share all these images with you today!
Congratulations Crystal and Chaz, it was a JOY being a part of your big day!
Over six years ago, Chaz and I were set-up on a blind date. Chaz and my twin sister both worked at Hamilton Farm Golf Club – though, at the time, they did not know it. At an LPGA event the course was holding, Chaz was able to meet my sister. He found her to be very nice and pretty but quickly realized she was married. However little did he know she has a twin sister! My twin and a mutual friend did some “match-making” and before I knew it I was set-up on a blind date – June 16, 2010. We’ve been together since!
When I first got engaged there was one thing I definitely had to have…and that was Vanessa Joy (seriously!). Vanessa photographed a wedding I was in over 5 years ago and since then I knew I had to have her as my photographer. 🙂 Another important item for us was our venue. Since Hamilton Farm Golf Club was the reason behind “us,” it was only fitting to have our wedding there. It fit exactly what we were looking for. It was nice, elegant, and not your typical wedding venue. It has an old charm about it that we both just love. When those two important things collided, everything after just feel into place and came together.
I wanted my wedding to be nice and simple. I wanted the girls to wear something they felt comfortable in (without spending a lot of money) and I wanted the guys to have something they could wear again. I wanted a very clean soft look with a little rustic flare incorporated.
With no hesitation, our first look! The morning of our wedding I was super excited and very happy but a part of me was a little quiet and reserved. Something was missing. Chaz is my rock, he always assures me everything is going to be okay and no matter what we will have fun, smile, and make the best of everything. Once I saw him, I felt a sigh of relieve and the day officially started.
Genuinely happy, absolutely amazing, and the luckiest girl in the world! It was a dream come true 🙂
