The Summit Bechtel Reserve Wedding Photos | Glen Jean, WV Photographer | Mackenzie & Austin

The Couple

Mackenzie and Austin’s wedding day began with Mackenzie and her bridesmaids getting ready in the bridal suite at the Summit Bechtel Reserve. Austin and his groomsmen got ready at the Yamagata Lodge which is the onsite hotel for the Summit Bechtel Reserve. After getting ready, Mackenzie did a very sweet first look with her girls and they had the best reaction to seeing this beautiful bride all done up! Next was a first look with Austin. Mackenzie walked up to Austin who had his back turned to her. Mackenzie then tapped him on the shoulder and he turned around to see her for the first time in all her bridal beauty. They shared a very loving moment together and then we were off to take some wedding party portraits and bride & groom shots. We got some amazing photos with the trees at peak foliage and of course the stunning view provided by the Appalachian mountains and the Summit Bechtel Reserve. The ceremony came next where these two got to exchange their own vows and say “I do” in front of their family and friends. After the ceremony, the newlyweds popped a bottle of champagne with their wedding party and then headed back to the arbor for some family formal photos. Right before the reception, we snagged the couple away for some sunset photos, and boy, they did not disappoint. Next came the reception where Mackenzie & Austin got to celebrate all night long and even ended the night with a sparkler exit.
