Alycia & Casey had beautiful weather for their outdoor ceremony in Mesquite, TX. The bride planned the wedding and made the decorations for the event herself, and did a wonderful job!

I arrived on Friday at Laylas Day Spa to take pictures of the bachelorette party (and have a pedicure, myself)! They gave us complementary wine while pampering the bridal party.  We then headed to our hotel room, where the bride opened presents. The next morning, we headed to Continental Hairlines for the party’s hair and makeup.

Finally, we arrived at their venue, The Westlake House. The ceremony was outdoors in front of a quaint little gazebo, and the reception was held inside the house. My favorite thing about this venue is the beautiful landscaping. There is a pond with fountain next to the house- a perfect backdrop for pictures. There is also a winding path that leads from the house to the gazebo. It provided a great stage for the bride to make her grand entrance, and also ample time for pictures.
