Bethany & Aaron had the most gorgeous June day for their Chestnut Ridge Golf Resort wedding.  Bethany and her bridesmaids got ready on the main level of the resort’s hotel, being extra careful that Aaron was not hanging around the lobby where he could accidentally catch a glimpse of his bride before it was time.  The soon-to-be newlyweds did choose to do a first look, which was as adorable as you’d hope it would be!  When they were done taking in how beautiful & handsome they each looked respectively, we popped out onto the golf course for some portraits before heading back inside for their ballroom ceremony.

After the ceremony the whole bridal party got a chance to hop in some golf carts and ride out onto the course for some group photos together, which is always a fun time!  Their reception was full of their closest family and friends cheering them on as they entered the ballroom through gorgeous gold-plated doors.  Cake cutting, speeches, special dances, and a killer cookie table rounded out the evening as these two became Mr. & Mrs.  Check out the highlights below to get a peek into their day!
