We just want to start by saying there is nothing better than a couple really appreciates the photography at their wedding. Jennifer & Brad  contacted us before they were even ‘officially’ engaged because that’s how badly they wanted to book us. It was the biggest compliment ever!! We were so excited to finally celebrate with them at their wedding on October 7th, and be their Marlette Plantation Place Wedding Barn Photographer.

The whole event took place at the Plantation Place Wedding Barn; one of our favorite locations! The venue is so great because it makes the day even more relaxing when there is no traveling between the ceremony & reception and all the photos are able to be done right on site.  Jennifer got ready in the farm house with her girls while Brad and his guys got ready in the old milk house. The farm house is exactly as you would picture it, with a wide front porch and welcoming layout. The milk house is rustic and casual. The grounds are a photography dream come true, and a perfect blend of manicured garden, yet wild beauty is still evident everywhere.

Jennifer & Brad wanted to wait until the ceremony to see each other but we loved capturing a gift exchange orchestrated but their bridal party. Jennifer gifted Brad a beautiful watch inscribed with “I love you more every second” that made us swoon. Brad got Jennifer a gorgeous pair of new cowboy boots that she wore down the aisle (with flat Bradley attached!) The ceremony itself went off without a hitch and they sealed the deal by literally tying the knot. A fisherman’s knot; one of the strongest there is.

The whole reception was just so upbeat and fun! Brad & Jennifer had one of the most uniquely talented DJ’s we’ve seen. Rodney describes himself as a violinist first, and he spent the night mixing radio hits with his talented violin playing. Our absolute favorite was when he played ‘Wagon wheel’ and had everyone clapping and singing along.

We loved being Jennifer & Brad’s Marlette Plantation Place Wedding Barn Photographer, and hope you enjoy this small preview into their rustic, fun-filled wedding day on the farm!
