Exclusive! John Luke and Mary Kate’s Duck Dynasty Wedding

October 22, 2015October 22, 2015 | grazellesunshin

If you’ve followed The Robertson clan on their hit show Duck Dynasty, you know how important family is to them. So when Three Nails Photography sent the recent Robertson newlyweds, John Luke and Mary Kate’s wedding album our way, we knew it would be a soiree filled with love, laughter and tradition. From Father of the Groom, Willie officiating the ceremony to the 800 person guest list celebrating at the family farm, there’s no shortage of happiness, and we’ve got the exclusive photos inside THE VAULT!

From the beautiful Bride, Mary Kate… One word I could use to describe the way I saw my wedding day is “perfect”. Everything was even better than I could have imagined it to be. The day in itself seriously was a miracle- there was a 100% chance of rain that day and with it being at the end of June it should have been about 100 degrees outside. And with an outdoor wedding, things were just not looking good. But we didn’t have a drop of rain and the temperature was rather great for June in Louisiana.

It was an early morning and a long day, but the whole day was so much fun- from getting ready with my bridesmaids and our moms, to the actual wedding, to the reception. Everything was so FUN. I was surrounded by the beautiful outdoors, lots of flowers, and the people I love most. It was wonderful.

My favorite part of the actual wedding ceremony was walking back down the aisle, holding the hand of my husband. All I could do was smile and laugh and keep repeating the obvious, “Ahhh! We’re married! You’re my husband!” My favorite part of the wedding day though may have been the reception! It was quite the celebration and I will never forget that feeling of such joy in my heart.

Planning a wedding can get stressful, and the best advice I got was, “Remember this wedding is not about the wedding itself, it’s about you and John Luke and the commitment you are making to each other and to God.” Just keep in mind that marriage is much more than the wedding. Also, get a wedding planner…mine was a lifesaver.

From 2 Brides Photography…A gorgeous and sunny day Matilda and Svend tied the knot and celebrated in style together with family and friends at Bjertorp’s Castle in the South of Sweden. This bride and groom looked crazy beautiful and throughout they day they just gave each other glances with eyes filled with love. So, so, so romantic. Such a pleasure to photograph their day, we are beyond thankful to have been invited to witness their union.

From The Bride…Our wedding was all about having a good time with our friends and family, our favourite hobby! The spontaneous wild dancing during the dinner was fantastic and the atmosphere pure magic! The toastmaster made some had some spot on introductions that we still laugh at the memories of. He really set the tone for the evening. We encourage you to go the extra mile when planning your wedding, it’s so worth it. When the day comes, sit back and enjoy the ride. We are so happy with our photographers. The fantastic ladies of 2 Brides Photography, Isabelle and Sabina. They were absolutely fantastic to work with and truly contributed to an even more amazing wedding. We are already recommending them to all our friends and we will definitely call them again if we ever do anniversary or family shoots in the future. Everything about the wedding exceeded our already high expectations!

With each glowing autumn day, I fall deeper and deeper in love with the rich colors of this special time of year; the golds, the fading greens and those amazing radiant reds. So when this styled shoot by Melanie Nedelko came across my desk, you could say I was a tad bit extra excited. Filled the brim with those captivating colors and satisfying every single one of my seasonal wedding daydreams, image after image is frame worthy.

From Melanie Nedelko… This styled shoot was a collaboration with some really talented folks from Austria. I’m so proud that I had the chance to work with them and realize my vision of an autumn inspired wedding shoot.

Viki from Lovely Weddings and Timo Bolte, a very talented florist, created a wonderful table setting with different beautiful red tones, mixed with golden and pastel elements. A plain wooden table peppered with costly arranged golden accents forms an exciting contrast to the unemotional location where it becomes a fascinating eye-catcher.

The scenery took place in a rough gravel pit near Vienna, this unique location reflected the golden autumn light perfectly and our beautiful model in her Elfenkleid gown seemed to get one with the background. Our models – they are also a couple in real life – were so cute and did a really great job! It was my second styled shoot ever, and the first that I captured mostly on film. I love the skin tones and the special colors you can only get from film. I hope we can inspire brides with our version of a perfect autumn wedding.

Peruse more autumn weddings + inspiration here!
