Zack and Hayley became husband and wife on the dreamiest of summer days in their favorite place in the world: The Outer Banks, surrounded by their closest family and friends, in what was hands down the most exceptional, picturesque and fun DIY wedding this side of the Atlantic.
This beautifully matched pair officially met years ago thanks to a wink on Ok Cupid. A majority of their first date was spent with Zack trying to guess his date's name - since he came to dinner not having a clue what it was. While for some that could have been a deal breaker, for Hayley, it only made the outing that much more fun. Ever since Zack finally learned Hayley's name, these two have been perusing each other, chasing their dreams, and building a life together.
Zack and Hayley are two of the hardest working, detail oriented, creative individuals you'll ever meet. Together, they had a vision for what they wanted their wedding day to be, and together, they spent MONTHS of tedious work behind the scenes to make that vision a reality. From hours hand collecting the shells displayed on the tables, to literally crafting the epic chandelier and archway, to a home-made photo booth, the attention to detail and creativity showcased at their nuptials left everyone in attendance in awe. Beyond the intricate details unique to this larger than life couple were the carefully crafted moments that made time stand still.
Zack and Hayley secretly devised surprises for one another throughout the day that were remarkably thoughtful (A groomsmen cake showcasing Zack's beloved hockey team, a carved replica of Hayley's favorite state, and a surprise dance at the reception. - These two have taken gifts and surprises to an entirely new level and set the standard for DIY.
They each wrote notes they exchanged the morning of their big day and exchanged personalized vows that had guests in happy tears, both from laughing at their wit, and touched by their declarations. The planned a day jam packed with sentimentality, charm, and unparalleled fun - accompanied by the margin to soak in every second of the perfectly planned affair.
Their out of this world vision coupled with the months of hard work and planning, combined the a dream team of vendors made for one heck of a wedding day. And TODAY you can relive the destination wedding of these Office loving, Capitals cheering, Outer Banks obsessed, radically in love pair!
