Real Wedding: Hailey and Ward's Reception

Fun fact of the day: Hailey and Ward's reception was the FIRST to have been held in the atrium of the Branson Convention Center. If you would like to get a sneak peek of how this celebration all came together, check out or time lapse video! We had so much fun creating an even in this space and the colors Hailey and Ward chose fit it perfectly!

What’s the one décor aspect that you most loved and will remember?

I loved everything about the reception venue. The ambience was perfect; the tall glass walls were so gorgeous! I loved the location, the décor (especially the flowers), and the chairs and linens. It was perfect.

What was your first dance song, and why?

Ward actually chose our song, which made it really special to me. We have never had “a song” so this was an area I was stressing in. Luckily Ward went exploring and found Love Never Fails by Brandon Heath and it was perfect.

How did you portray your personal styles into your wedding day?

Our wedding was simple, traditional and elegant. I am a very simple person and we both wanted a traditional and elegant wedding.

Real Wedding: Hailey and Ward's First Look and Portraits

Who could forget Hailey and Ward's precious engagement session at Kanakuk Kamps?! Defined Image Photography not only captured a heartwarming engagement session where this amazing couple first met, but these wedding portraits are ones for the books! Please enjoy reminiscing on this perfect day (that even a little rain couldn't ruin) as we celebrate Hailey and Ward's wedding recap week!

What one portrait would you choose to put above your mantle?

This is a tough one! I think there are a lot of good ones to choose from. I would probably choose the black and white photo of Ward and I kissing and standing in front of the car and train station.

What was your most favorite photo location, and why did you choose it?

A favorite?! I don’t know if I can choose just one. In front of the train station with the car was pretty awesome but I also really like the pictures in front of the water with the bridge.
