Mr. & Mrs. Bonck

Immaculate Conception Catholic Church | Forrest Grove Plantation

Married: April 29, 2023

 

I have been looking forward to this wedding for some time now. Every time I chatted with Lacey, I got more and more excited about her wedding day. I officially met Lacey in person for the first time during her bridal session. I instantly fell in love her & her Mom, Laurie. We had so much fun for her bridal portraits, that I knew we would have a great time for her wedding. They are so much fun to be around.


Lacey got ready at Forrest Grove Plantation & Alex got ready at a nearby AirBnB. When I entered the bridal suite, I was greeted by a few familiar faces. Lacey and her bridesmaids were so calm and ready for the evening. The afternoon started out rainy, but it stopped just in time for the ceremony.   


Lacey & Alex were married at Immaculate Conception Catholic Church in Denham Springs. Their ceremony was so beautiful. It was short, sweet & perfect!! We stayed for a few family portraits afterward and then headed to Forrest Grove to celebrate the couple.     


The Groove started the night out by singing This Kind of Love for the couples first dance.  The night was filled with great food and lots of dancing. My favorite memory is when everyone gathered around the couple and sang Don't Stop Believin'. It was such a joy to witness so many friends and family celebrating this couple.  They have such a great support system and are surrounded by so many people that love them.


Lacey & Alex, I cannot thank you enough for trusting me to document this day for you. We hope you guys had a wonderful time in Jamaica. Here are some of our favorites from your beautiful day! We hope you enjoy them! Congratulations again! We are so very happy for you guys!  

 

God Bless,

Crystal
