BLUE HERON BARN
One of my favorite summer venues! I’m so happy to post yet another fabulous wedding hosted here. This time, we have two lovely brides who became wives to one another on this sweet Saturday in mid-May!
Kirsten was dressed and ready on-site first, and had time for a few calming moments with Mom before the ceremony began, while LeAnn had the larger suite and lots more helping hands. LeAnn’s mom (in delicate baby blue) helped her arrange her veil just after her daughter pinned on her flowers.
The main event took place under a cloudy sky, but the rain held off through portraits and during most of the reception too. My heart is so inspired by the emotion when these girls saw each other for the first time that day… How perfectly magical! And rather than a sand ceremony or unity candles, Kirsten and LeAnn had lovely crystals to present to one another and nestle down into a keepsake succulent bouquet.
I love the multi-color hues of the bridesmaids’ color palette, as well as the pastel rainbow tulle the flower girl had. They even included colors in their details and rings! “Something Blue” is covered!
This romance session was easy and fun. Both happy newlyweds soaked up every moment! It’s our favorite part of the day when we get to go out into a field or nearby picturesque location to get photos of a “Just Married” couple alone. You get time to love on one another, and we get to create a very evocative record of those heightened emotions.
The reception was full of fun with a Taco Bar for dinner! The girls were announced, and after dinner, there was cake to cut and dances to enjoy.
Legends say rain is a blessing for your future on your wedding day. Personally, I love it when it holds off all day and then rains a bit at the end. It’s the best of both worlds! You get a gorgeous outdoor ceremony with perfect weather, and I get end-of-the-night raindrops to light with off-camera flash. It’s so pretty!
