I had the honor of photographing Lynne and Jack's wedding at Barnsley Gardens... also known as Lynne-palooza. These two were celebrating a second chance at love after being "matched" without even knowing it. Having a second chance meant they knew what was most important for them on their wedding day - spending time with their family and friends. Apparently having AMAZING decor and floral design was also a priority because their details were flawless! Lynne and Jack started the party by welcoming guests to Barnsley Gardens with a pre-ceremony cocktail hour and cozy blankets for them to wrap up in for the ceremony. The details Lynne and Jack chose showed they cared about their guests but also about giving back. All of the blankets from their wedding are being donated to the animal shelter! Have I mentioned I adore these two?
When Lynne first reached out to me, she wasn't sure if I would be interested in working with them for their wedding day because she doesn't "look like the typical bride" but wanted to make sure I knew that they were fun and had many similar interests (basically she checked every box in the About Me section of my website except they're more basketball fans than football fans). Based on her e-mail alone I knew I would love Lynne but after meeting with her and her daughter Jules (the matchmaker!), I knew I had to be a part of their wedding celebration. Thankfully Lynne and Jack agreed and before we knew it, November 4th was here. The entire day was so relaxed, partially because Ellen of Ellen Thomas Events was running the show, but also because Lynne and Jack were just excited to celebrate with everyone after the ceremony. Their ceremony service was quite possibly my favorite - full of meaning, crowd participation and a special gift presented to Lynne that Jack made himself - a stunning wooden ring box. As the sun went down, drinks flowed and the dance floor filled. Lynne and Jack hugged every neck before the night was over and I am so grateful I was one of them. Congratulations to the newlyweds! I hope you have SO much fun on your trip!!
