Wedding Ceremony at Duncan Memorial Chapel in Louisville, KY
A Monday Wedding Full of Love, Family, and New Beginnings
Duncan Memorial Chapel Ceremony + The Gatewood Reception in La Grange, KY
There’s something uniquely special about weekday weddings—especially when they’re filled with as much heart and meaning as Mary Margaret + Jason’s. On a quiet Monday afternoon, these two brought together their families and officially said “I do” in a beautiful wedding ceremony at Duncan Memorial Chapel, followed by an intimate reception at The Gatewood in La Grange.
A Private First Look and Vows
Before the ceremony began, Mary Margaret + Jason shared a private first look at the chapel. They also chose to exchange personal vows with one another in that quiet moment, just the two of them. It was raw, emotional, and incredibly meaningful—a chance to speak from the heart without distraction, and a memory I’m sure they’ll carry forever.
A Ceremony Focused on Family
Mary Margaret + Jason didn’t just get married—they created a new family. Their four children made up the bridal party and stood beside them during the ceremony, a powerful symbol of support and unity. One of the most touching moments of the day came as the six of them lit a candle together and prayed with the priest, asking for guidance, strength, and joy in this new chapter as one family. You could already tell how close they all are—it was emotional and beautiful to witness.
Elegant Details and a Gown that Stole the Show
Mary Margaret’s lace dress was simply stunning—delicate, detailed, and classic in the best way. Paired with soft, romantic florals, the entire day had an effortless elegance. The chapel itself provided the perfect timeless backdrop, and everything felt deeply personal and full of care.
Dinner and Celebration at The Gatewood
After the ceremony, everyone gathered at The Gatewood in La Grange to continue the celebration. This cozy venue was just right for their group of closest family and friends. Over a good meal, heartfelt conversations, and laughter, the joy of the day carried on into the evening.
Golden Hour in Downtown La Grange
Before the night wrapped up, we snuck away for a few photos in downtown La Grange as the sun began to set. The streets were quiet and glowy, and the love between Mary Margaret + Jason was front and center. It was the perfect end to a day centered around family, connection, and love.
