Stefanie & Schnyeder: Wedding

Instead of celebrating their independence on July 4th they celebrated their dependence…on each other. The need that each of them had for one another to be a part of their lives forever. The wedding and reception was held in the beautiful and peaceful North Georgia mountains of Blairsville at the Southern Tree Plantation.

It was evident that Faith, Family, and Friends are very important to them. They incorporated this in their wedding by taking the time to pray with those closest to them before the ceremony. Schnyeder and his family are from Haiti, and when the ceremony began Schnyeder and his guys came in dancing to Haitian music. One thing unique about their ceremony was that they had brown and white sand that they poured into a vase together instead of lighting a candle to represent their unity. A few different cultures were represented in their bridal parties, and they incorporated them all in the music that they chose for the reception, and I especially loved it when I got to witness some fun salsa dancing going on.

Stefanie and Schnyder are so completely in love and precious, he makes her laugh constantly, but at the same time he is so sweet with her. Here’s some of my favorites from the day.
