Zac + Christina | Wabeek Country Club Wedding

March 21, 2022

Zac and Christina were married at Wabeek Country Club in Bloomfield.  The wedding was long-awaited as covid put a hold on their original ceremony date. These two are hard-working doctors just out of medical school, and the celebration was extra sweet since they had to wait patiently to tie the knot while they worked diligently in their fields.

The ladies got ready in Wabeek’s bridal suite, and we were all taken aback after seeing Christina for the first time in her wedding dress.  The lace and all of the detail were simply fabulous, but can we also talk about her gorgeous brunette locks? She was radiant. Her bridesmaids surprised her with the coolest gift from Etsy—they had an art piece made of the ladies showing off the back of their hair and dresses.

Zac’s first look with Christina was perfect, and we took portraits before the ceremony right on the grounds. I love that Wabeek has little pockets of trees and the perfect shade to make family portraits simple yet lovely.

The ceremony itself overlooked Haines Lake, and the floral arch created the perfect setting for their vows. The scene was breathtaking. I had to catch a few faraway shots of the ceremony to show off on the blog!

Cocktail hour followed immediately after on the patio.  The evening rolled on with speeches, a completely romantic first dance under the chandelier, and a great party on the dance floor.

Congratulations, Zac and Christina!
