Married - Katie and Matt - The Farm at Brusharbor - Part 1

Katie just got the short end of the stick when it came to weather for her photography. At her bridal session it was a mere 42 degrees with gusts of wind and on her wedding day it was a chilly, rain filled  April day. However on both days all I saw was a girl who sees the glass half full. She was up for anything and I love it when clients have trust in me that I can still capture beautiful images despite the crazy weather. I brought along some clear umbrellas for the bridal party and I loved how they turned out in the photos. You'll see those images in part two of this wedding post. 

When I first met Katie at our first meeting I just knew that I would have a good time around this girl. She just makes you smile! She's so genuine and her soul mate Matt, could not be more perfect for her. These two opted to do a first look on their wedding day, which you get to see a glimpse of in this post. The rain made all the greenery so vivid and provided a dramatic backdrop to their first look photos. 

I've always enjoyed working at The Farm at Brusharbor and it's becoming a new favorite location of mine. Their ceremony took place on a covered patio and included a bluegrass band called Whiskey Rebellion. I just absolutely loved this band and was excited to hear them again at the reception. 

 Stay tuned for part two which will include the portraits and reception.

Married - Brandon & Hannah - Backyard Wedding

Oh my this was the wedding that I had to walk out on and was majorly bummed I missed the ceremony and reception! If you missed out on that news you can read the story here. Also if you missed Hannah's bridal session it's a must see. I often look back at her portraits. Loved them!

So short story, Hannah was my neighbor growing up and her parents and youngest siblings still are my mom's neighbors. I was overjoyed when Hannah and Brandon called me up asking if I could document their day. I fell in love with so much of this intimate sweet wedding and wished I could have seen it first hand, but God had other plans for me that day. My second shooter, Angela, did an amazing job as always capturing these two and their special day. Thanks again girl for keeping me together! Hannah and Brandon are both school teachers and they love spending time outdoors. So having a backyard wedding was very fitting for them. Lots of DIY in this wedding and of course it was done very well since Hannah is an art teacher. They harvested all the moss you see in the images and Hannah's dad made the most spectacular light canopy. Oh I'll stop with all the details, just look and see for yourself how wonderful this wedding was.
Congratulations Hannah and Brandon! You two could not be any cuter!

This is the view from my mom's house. Spent a lot of my early childhood here!

And here are seven siblings!
