To write a blog about this Mountain View Country Club Wedding and backyard reception would not do Brad and Chelsea's wedding day justice. Their day was beautiful, but it was the couple that STOLE THE SHOW!

If you know Brad and Chelsea, you know that they are two people who love, trust, and serve others beautifully. They have never met a stranger, and are always going out of their ways to make things special for others (not just the people they know or love... like anyone!). It's always a pleasure serving and celebrating couples like Brad and Chelsea on their wedding day.

The journey to this wedding day was not easy. For many, 2020 came with uncertainty, instability, loss, and a whole lot of hurdles that no one wants me to rehash. However, through it all, I have watched Brad and Chelsea grow and work harder together in these last few months. As someone who works closely with 2020 wedding couples (and has a 2020 wedding), I have felt refreshed and inspired by their mindset.

Alright, let's talk about the wedding day! After making many last-minute changes due to the sudden PA restrictions put into place right before their August wedding, Chelsea and Brad decided to begin their wedding day at Mountain View Country Club and end it in the backyard of Brad's parents' house!

Chelsea and her girls got ready at Mountain View's hotel, The Wyndham Garden, while Brad and the guys got ready at the Frantz house.

We loved all the florals designed by Emily at Pocketful of Posies!

Chelsea's wedding dress was PERFECT for her! She found this Morilee dress at Diamonds and Lace Boutique, in State College.

Brad's gift to Chelsea was this beautiful canvas! It pas personalized with their names, wedding date, and song!

We loved the mountainous back drop the Mountain View had to offer, but also LOVED this light blue staircase for Chelsea's portraits! So grand for a bride in her gown!

Right before the ceremony, Chelsea got to do a quick first look with her dad, Steve!

Meanwhile, the the Frantz house, the boys were getting ready!

I'll be honest, I know nothing about shoes. BUT from what I told my friends who do, they all say the Chelsea TOTALLY wins at gift giving. She was so excited to see Brad's reaction to his new Air Jordan Ones! I can't blame her, look at his face! Amazing!

What a handsome gus!!

Brad and his groomsmen's suits were from Men's Wearhouse.

The wedding party got to roll up in style to the ceremony with some help from Fullington Trailways!

This wedding design and planning was created by some of our favorite planners, Megan and Cori from B Events!

Once everyone arrived, Brad and Chelsea had their private wedding ceremony in the back of the country club.

Brad and Chelsea created customized masks for their guests attending the ceremony!

HERE COMES THE BRIDE!

I loved Brad's reaction!

These three sisters made the perfect flower girls! They were ready to throw flower petals anytime we asked! They were so good at their job!

We loved these personalized pocket watches Brad gifted his Groomsmen!

Back to the Trolley for their backyard reception!

These two beautiful cakes were done by Heather of Delectable Delights!

When you look at these photos, I hope you see what we saw! A beautiful day, the perfectly summertime wedding color pallet, and no rain (we just dodged it!). More than that, I hope you see two people who adore each other, who have faced challenges together, and whose marriage wasn't off to an easy, but a strong start.

Brad and Chelsea, we totally freaking love you two. Your sincerity and genuineness is unmatched. We love how you never stop searching for the good in people and situations, and hope that you never stop. Continue working together and enjoying life together. You two make the world a better and brighter place for everyone you encounter, and we are so incredibly thankful to have the chance to celebrate a couple like you! Love you guys!
