Eric and Jennifer

Eric and Jennifer were married the evening of December 31st and had a gorgeous ceremony and reception. They were the most gracious and fun loving couple. We LOVED Jennifer's dress and matching headpiece and when we were able to witness Eric and Jennifer together it was a special moment each time. We were so blessed to be able to share in their celebration. Congrats you two!!

Reciting their vows to each other. Such a sentimental moment.  

Such a cute way yo put it! 

We loved the winter wonderland theme and these centerpieces added to it perfectly!!  

Gorgeous white roses and the sweetest notes on each guests' plate.

Somebody has an eye on that awesome cake :)  

So in love and so beautiful!! The sunset on their wedding day was absolutely magical.  

See what we mean about that dress!?! We were so happy that they made great use of our lovely bridge for their pictures! 

Congratulations again Eric and Jennifer, we are so happy for you!! We wish you nothing but the best!! 

Kelsey and Drew

Kelsey and Drew were married the morning of Dec 31st and had the most endearing and genuine wedding. We loved getting to witness their special day and be a part of such a celebration. Kelsey was a stunning bride and the couple seemed to have such an amazing time together. One of our favorite moments of the day was when the couple walked out of the church at the end of the ceremony and exclaimed, with tears in their eyes and huge smiles on their faces, "WE'RE MARRIED!!"It was an awesome moment. 

Drew and Kelsey we wish you the very best! 


The couple had an adorable photo guest book for their guests to sign.  

The lovely wedding party getting ready for the ceremony.  

The bride's and groom's parents getting ready to be seated!  


Right after Kelsey walked down the isle. We always peek through the crack in the door to make sure it is okay to sneak back in :)  

The BEAUTIFUL couple pose for a quick photo before heading over to the party!  

Drew and Kelsey incorporated some fun photos and questionnaires along with their floral centerpieces. 

Gorgeous (and yummy!) cake.  


The head table about to be served some delicious breakfast food! 

What a stunning bride! Kelsey and Drew toasted with soda bottles, such a fun idea for a morning wedding! 

Once again congratulations to you two! May God bless your marriage!!!

Aaron and Carolyn - January 8, 2012

What a fun and excited couple! They are truly a JOY to be around and made the entire day so much fun! We have to hand it to them too, they had one of the most uniquely decorated weddings we have had and it looked amazing! The theme was a travel and adventure theme and was carried out through EVERY detail. They even had a canoe inside The Stables to put the gifts in! We had so much fun celebrating with you Aaron and Carolyn and we are so excited for your newly created family! 

They had the most gorgeous window displays in The Chapel! We just couldn't get enough!  

Aaron and Carolyn lighting the unity candle together to symbolize two becoming one.  

Such a sweet moment when Aaron and Carolyn had finished lighting the unity candle and were praying together. 

We thought this photo was so funny and cute! They were so excited and moving so fast we couldn't keep up! haha :)  

See what we mean!? It was so cool! We thought the sweetheart table decorated with hiking boots and a lantern was just such a neat touch. You can somewhat see the trunks and lanterns being set up on the fireplace as well!!

Carolyn and Aaron, we genuinely wish you both nothing but God's best. May you always keep him first and may He always bless your lives. 

Lisa and Jared - January 14, 2012

God sure pulled out all the stops for this wedding! The sunset was amazing! We sure wished a picture could capture its true beauty, but they never seem to do it justice. We are so excited for Lisa and Jared who were married this past saturday the 14th. We wish you nothing but the best! 

Exchanging rings and vows in front of the cross with the sunset pouring though the windows... it doesn't get any better!

The sweethearts' table right next to the fireplace was such a tender touch to the day. 

 It is a little fuzzy but we LOVED their centerpieces with the fresh cut flowers and photo frames showing a picture of Lisa and Jared at the age of the table number!! 

Sweet sweet sweet! We love a good first dance photo, they are always so romantic. 

They were such an adorable couple and we loved getting to be a part of their day. May God richly bless your marriage!!! Congrats again Lisa and Jared!!


It is always the SEASON for love here!!

We thought we would put some pictures up to let everyone get a grasp on what each season is like here at Integrity Hills. We are blessed to be able to see the changes God creates each month but it is so nice to reflect on the seasons and remember the weddings from each one and the blessings throughout this whole year. God has been so wonderful to us and we hope he blesses you greatly as well. 

Let us acknowledge the LORD; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth.” Hosea 6:2-4

You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!Galatians 4:9-11

Winter is always fabulous here. The snow on the chapel just makes everything even more cozy and intimate. We love our November-February weddings for that very reason. 





There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens:Ecclesiastes 3:1-3


Autumn might be our favorite season out here. It is such a gorgeous, nature filled property that we just can't seem to stay inside around September and October. 



Flowers appear on the earth; the season of singing has come, the cooing of doves is heard in our land.Song of Songs 2:11-13 

Summer is such a amazing time at Integrity Hills as well! We definitely have the most weddings during the summer months and they always have such a great opportunity for some beautiful outdoor photos. It is so green and opulent during June-August that photographers just can't get enough!! 



Be patient, then, brothers and sisters, until the Lord’s coming. See how the farmer waits for the land to yield its valuable crop, patiently waiting for the autumn and spring rains.


Spring is such a serene time for a wedding here. We love the early flowers that start to bloom around the chapel's landscaping and the birds chirping every morning while we unlock the chapel doors. The trees are starting to gain color again and it is simply breathtaking. 




Preach the word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage—with great patience and careful instruction.2 Timothy 4:1-3



The day is yours, and yours also the night; 
   you established the sun and moon. 
It was you who set all the boundaries of the earth; 
   you made both summer and winter.
Psalms 74:16-18

Cakes, cakes, cakes!!

For some it's the flowers. For others it's the music, or the centerpieces, or the colors. For us it is the SWEETS that take the cake! We love to see the delicious delights at every reception that guests (and staff) eyeball all night until they finally serve it up! We wanted to share some of our favorites from the past few months to help those planning brides out when it comes to some sweet treat ideas. 

This winter wonderland cake is a masterpiece by Celebrations by Sonja. She makes her own buttercream icing that is to die for!!  

We loved bride Beth's sweetheart tree inspired cake! 

Having a unique topper has been an ongoing trend here and we thought the feathers in this one was so neat! Plus, look at that intricate black piping!

Another popular trend is to have the couple's initial on the cake. We think it is such a classic touch.  

There it is again! The "B" on each side is so perfect.  

We love cupcake tiers! One couple had a great idea and had a kids table that had cupcakes instead of cake slices for all the kiddos! Such a great (non-messy) option!  

 Another initial (we told you it was popular)! Doesn't that buttercream icing look yummy!
