Fall wedding season is officially upon us! I’m so excited for cooler weather, rich fall color palettes, and eating leftover soup while wearing my husband’s sweatshirt the day after a wedding, hunkered down in my house like a hooded, anti-social troll. But you have to earn your At Home Troll Day by working really hard the day before, and I have never been more grateful for the kind of work that makes me tired. What a gift! Em and Jake’s wedding was an absolute treat for the senses – loads of colorful, punchy florals, warm candlelight and mint-hued hobnail glasses, melting ice cream sandwiches eaten under the stars and a new family, solidified forever.

The weather was calling for thunderstorms all afternoon so we moved the timeline up to try and get a maximum amount of portrait time before the sky let loose (another great reason to stay flexible on your wedding day and consider a First Look!). It looked like we’d have to move the ceremony inside the barn but Em + Jake decided to roll the dice and keep the ceremony in the woods. I’m so thankful they did because yowza – look at those colors! Look at that joy! What an incredible day for two fantastic people.

Many thanks to some of my very favorite vendors, it really does take a village:

BEHIND THE LENS 

ABOUT BRITTANY

After 14 years and over 300 weddings, I've created an experience that is completely unfussy and truly irresistible.

Exceptional, gorgeous photography should be honest, playful and celebratory. I’m passionate about infusing cozy hospitality and warm humor into all the pockets of my life, photography included. It’s been a thrill to see my work featured in magazines and online, but I’m proudest of all the brides who turned into friends. From the first email to the final sparkler exit, I make the juice worth the squeeze. Promise.
