Jamie and Elizabeth Favorite Wedding

Though this was a few years back it remains one of my favorite weddings of all time. It was published all over the place so I guess I am not the only one that loved it. They wanted a country feel yet with elegant notes... fun, whimsical yet stunningly beautiful. The bride is a clothing designer and the groom a writer so we incorporated several fun elements that nodded to that. The major ones being a typewriter with "flowery" prose and a sewing machine "sewing" a carpet of flowers. We even had old fashions thread spools as place card holders and a type tray with their names in it. I used tons of my own props, even supplying all the dishes with several mis-matched pieces creating an old time family pot luck vibe. The bride was from the south so we had a hot tea station where people could take a cup and saucer and a tea pot back to their table. Her mom even picked loads of cotton for us to weave throughout, even in the bouquets and boutonnieres. the ceremony was held outdoors in the woods across from the barn where the reception was. We wanted to create a church feeling within the cathedral of the trees. We used actual church pews and put flowers in the bible holders. I took a coupe of barn doors for the main "church entrance" and hung curtains to create the "room". It is hard to be specific on what exactly I loved about it, beyond the wonderful couple and their family (major highlight!). It was everything really, so many wonderful details and absolutely everyone there were lovely. The party went long and I do believe they had an absolute blast! I will let the images by Carolyn Tran speak for themselves, she is one of the only photographers that could truly capture everything so beautifully!
