Blake + Molly | Joyful August Wedding | Columbus, NE


August 22, 2020

As I walked up to the Munson house on Saturday morning, I knew it was going to be an insanely fun wedding day. I knew because as I walked to the front door, loaded down with camera gear, I could already hear the laughter inside. I opened the door and Molly greeted me, halfway ready, laughing while someone else was yelling about Scooters forgetting the breakfast burritos. All the girls were scattered throughout the house, finishing up hair and makeup, cracking jokes, and instead of panicking about little things not going as planned, they just kept asking Alexa to play play “Marry Me”, and when she would play something else, they just rolled with it.

Meanwhile, the guys got the trolly ready, they hung out at Blake’s brother’s house, cracked a few beers, and had a chill morning.

Once the girls were finished getting ready, they popped some champagne, (they definitely struggled to to pop it… see photos below!) and then it was time for Molly to get dressed and read a letter to her daughter, Amailey, from Blake. This might have been the most precious moment of the day. As she read the first sentence, the tears started to well up in her eyes, and that’s the moment I knew that these three were absolutely made for each other.

As the day went on, I saw so much laughter and so much love between Molly and Blake, and from their friends and families! They laughed during their first look, they laughed during their vows, they laughed as they shotgunned beers together, and they laughed all night long. Everyone that was a part of their wedding was there to celebrate their love and to make sure that they had the best day ever.

One of the coolest parts of the night was the surprise flashmob. As they got ready to do toasts, suddenly singing erupted from the back of the room. Then suddenly it was coming from somewhere else. And then somewhere else. Molly’s family was sining “Welcome to the Family”. Blake and Molly had no idea it was coming, so they stood up at the head table snuggled into the most genuine and heartfelt hug while they held hands with their wedding party and swayed along. Gosh, what a sweet sweet moment.

Blake and Molly, thank you for trusting me to capture your perfect day. It was so fun to be a part of your most sentimental quiet moments, as well as your moments of celebrating with shots. It was a wild and beautiful, and insanely fun day, and it’s one heck of a story to share for years to come. Cheers to the Munsons!

Much Love,

Gabby
