The Pavilion at Carriage Farm | Wedding Day | Erin + Blake | April 7, 2018
We kicked off our 2018 wedding season with Erin + Blake’s big day at The Pavilion at Carriage Farm!!! Even though it literally rained THE ENTIRE DAY STRAIGHT, both Blake and Erin were so happy, and nothing could dampen their spirits!
The day started with shooting the most gorgeous details! Erin & Blake hired us to also design their wedding Invitation Suite, so it was a lot of fun to photograph our own designs!
The bridesmaids and groomsmen were both a blast to be around. Even though they were “confined” indoors all day due to rain, the dressing rooms were full of laughter and smiling faces. Now that’s an AWESOME bridal party!!!
We photographed all the bridal party photos in front of the huge fireplace since it was raining, and what a stunning backdrop thanks to Amy Plant-Perdue of Plume Events. Her magical floral touch was everywhere – from the centerpieces, to the bouquets, and every nook and cranny you could put an arrangement!
I am obsessed with all the fluffy spring flowers! Amy did such a good job, that the entire ROOM smelled of the floral scent when you walked in! So magical!!!!
After a sweet ceremony, the bridal party agreed to step outside in the cold, wind and rain for a few portraits. Once again – awesome people!!! Erin and Blake were literally GETTING RAINED ON during their Bride and Groom photos, but they giggled the whole time and made the best of it!!!
The reception kicked off with first dances, a dinner buffet, a champagne toast, cake cutting, and everyone hitting the dance floor! It was such a fun evening thanks to DJ Mel Manning! As a favor, guests could take cookies for themselves, and special cookies for their dogs (from Nova, Blake and Erin’s lab!) sooooo cute!
At the end of the evening, Erin and Blake ran through a tunnel of sparklers and a car was waiting to whisk them away!!!
It was such a beautiful day, and couldn’t have had a couple with a more HAPPY attitude about a rain backup plan. Erin and Blake are such wonderful people, and we love them so much!!! (and Nova!!!)
