Here’s part one of April & Chris’ adorable rustic barn wedding! Today I’ll be showing the portraits, and the getting-ready details. Next week, the ceremony, vintage reception, and DIY rustic details. : )

April and Chris were married at Cross Creek Ranch in Dover, Fl. This venue is so amazing, I recommend it to any bride looking for that perfect combination of rustic & vintage. : )

April’s vendors: Dress: Blue by Enzoani, Catering:  Hungry Harry’s BBQ, Desserts: Alessi Bakery, Flowers: FishHawk Florists, Hair & Makeup: Darla Stafford.

How beautiful is April? Seriously, wow. She is glowing.

This first-look sequence makes me so happy.

And from my sweet assistant’s angle:

Because April & Chris chose to do a first look, they had loads of time for their bride & groom portrait session, thus you will see LOTS of photos from that session now:

Stay tuned for part 2 of this gorgeous wedding, with all the DIY rustic details that will make you swoon, and a dessert bar that makes me giddy.   : )

Ah I love this couple. So sweet and down to earth. We had a fun afternoon of shooting on a chilly winter day, with bicycles and rootbeer and old books. FUN.

I love this test shot, Denae is such a babe!

Denae & Richard, I can’t wait for your wedding day. It’s going to be GORGEOUS. : )

Nicole and Ian were hitched at the Winter Park Farmers Market in Orlando Florida and had a stunningly modern and fun wedding. Nicole did a fantastic job being super detail oriented and designed their reception site to be full of charm and personality. : )

Nicole and Ian had a stunning and emotional First Look:

Then they got married!

The ambiance and mood of the reception room was so so so so perfect.

Little jars of jam were given as favors for each guest. So sweet! This gorgeous cake was designed by Jennyfer Mancino of The Sugar Suite.

Nicole & Ian! You guys are amazing and your wedding was so so so lovely. I feel honored to have been a part of it.
