Sommer & Justin – The Celebration

Filed under: Inspired Weddings · Posted by: Polkadot Bride at 3:45 pm

I’m back with the final post on today’s wedding of Sommer and Justin captured by Brett & Julie Birdsong of Birdsong Photography! Earlier in the wedding, Sommer and Justin had a first look and took some gorgeous photos around the grounds of  Dresser Mansion. As the sun set, the couple took their vows.

The couple played their favourite song while lighting a unity candle. The pastor held a special place on the couple’s heart- being Justin’s uncle!

Welcome to part two of Sommer and Justin’s Tulsa wedding!

After getting ready in Dresser Mansion and having their first look, the couple took advantage of the beautiful backdrops the mansion provided and took some happy snaps with Birdsong Photography. Meanwhile, guests gathered for a welcome party.
