We popped outside of The Barn at Shady Lane to snap a couple bridal portraits before Rebecca + Nick headed back into their reception. The golden light was a surprise. No one expected it, since it had been overcast and breezy all day. It was magical, like the sun popping behind in behind the trees […]

The sun was shining. The bride was beaming, tucked away behind closed doors. An arbor of carefully placed florals sat perfectly in front of the dock.
