Summer is a perfect time to have a beautiful country wedding. After all the crazy heat of this past summer, this cooler day, sprinkled with a bit of rain, was a beautiful reprieve. When I met Lisa and Boston for their engagement session earlier this summer, we hit it off immediately and I instantly knew their wedding would be a day filled with laughter, loved ones, and a wee bit of silliness! And their day was pretty much that!
Lisa and Boston met at church youth group when they were in Grade’s 7 & 8. They were high school sweethearts and started officially dating in Grade’s 11 &12. After being together for over eight years, Boston surprised Lisa with a proposal during a beautiful Sunday afternoon walk through his uncle’s apple orchard. Since then they have been so looking forward to this day, their wedding day, in which they were able to celebrate with all their loved ones.
I’m so thankful they chose to do a First Look because we were able to get the majority of formal pictures done before they even said their I Do’s and before the rain came down a bit more heavier. An outdoor ceremony was planned but at the last minute we switched things up and moved it inside the barn. But these two didn’t let any little rain spoil their day, they flowed with the changing schedule so gracefully. Their ceremony included a special foot washing service and it was such a meaningful moment between the two of them.
Their venue was a gorgeous country lot tucked in the cute little town of Stayner. There was no shortage of amazing places there and the covered bridge was such an awesome addition to our family photos. The ceremony and reception were tucked into the barn and it was the perfect setting for that rustic outdoor feel. After the ceremony the rain let up and all the guests enjoyed playing lawn games, visiting and fellowshipping with one another.
Thank you again Lisa and Boston for choosing me as your wedding photographer. I have enjoyed getting to know you both and I wish you God’s blessings as you continue to journey on your married life together!
