Natalee + John’s wedding day began at the beautiful Coldwater Inn. The luxurious wallpaper, golden chandeliers, and plush interiors were the perfect backdrop for Natalee’s getting ready photos. I arrived to an airy suite bustling with activity–bridesmaids getting ready, the makeup artist carefully applying that last bit of eyeliner, and excited conversations for the days’ events.

The celebrations culminated at a family farm tucked into the countryside. A long gravel driveway led to a romantic barn decorated with strings of lights, lanterns, and a hand-painted sign. The details were beautiful, thoughtful, and lent such a personal touch to the day!

For their grand exit, Natalee and John had originally planned for sparklers. However, a heavy rain storm forced us to get a little creative. We lined the guests up and had everyone hold a candle centerpiece—Natalee and John walked slowly through a tunnel of glowing light, surrounded by friends. And as they walked towards their car, umbrella in hand, we got some pretty incredible photos. I’m SO thankful to have been a part of their beautiful and unique day!
