Beth & Jim’s Celebration Farm wedding day was a perfect celebration of their many years together and their perseverance through long-distance and college then grad & med school. They are both brilliant people and yet they have such genuine hearts and a quirky sense of humor that makes them both adorable and also incredibly lovable.
Beth had made sure to have all of her wedding garments hung and ready for me when we got to the farm. The flowers were carefully laid out, her Badgley Mischka heels were resting on the bench in the bridal suite, and her stunning Rivini bridal gown was hanging on the hook, just waiting for her to step into it.
Everyone agreed that if physical therapy doesn’t work out, Beth should become a professional bridal model.
This was a moment that I treasure. Beth’s grandmother had passed away before the wedding day arrived, but had made this stunning veil for Beth to wear. Beth was completely dressed and the veil was the last thing before that “ta-da” completed bridal moment. Just prior to putting it on, Beth broke into tears, missing her special grandmother who couldn’t be there in person, but was definitely there in spirit. I love this moment that Beth and her mom shared.
The weather could not have been more perfect; there was a beautiful breeze stirring the leaves on the trees and the sun was dipping over the treeline. The temps hit the high 70s and it smelled of fall.
The best man surprised them with a personalized song. And the maid of honor surprised them with a flash mob dance. I think the shock of it all just kept piling on as more and more people joined in.
During dinner, I had grabbed Beth & Jim for some quick photos outside. It was the most spectacular timing because the sun was just dipping over the horizon, but the last few rays snuck through the trees surrounding the pond.
