Marissa & Brayden
Marissa and Brayden have been so busy this last year planning the perfect wedding. They have juggled school, work, and wedding planning and it all came together last weekend at White Oak Farms, Medina TN. They met and got to know each other while working at the same grocery store in Missouri. Brayden proposed on the perfect day at Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, California.
White Oak Farms
These two have been all over the map together and chose to come together with their family and friends in Medina, TN. White Oak Farms is a beautiful little venue surrounded by trees and nature. It’s a great place for a wedding. Marissa & Brayden had people come from near and far to see them say “I do”.
I feel so special when a bride from one of my weddings recommends me to someone they care about to photograph their wedding. It means a lot that they enjoyed working with me enough to share that with someone they care about. Marissa’s sister, Alaina, was one of my brides in 2016 and I photographed her sweet wedding. I was so excited to get to see the family again for Marissa’s wedding.
The Wedding
Even though we had had some crazy storms in other parts of the South, the sun was out and beautiful for Marissa and Brayden’s wedding. Some of the leaves had just started their slow turn to yellow and it made the perfect background for their ceremony. Marissa’s dress was so shimmery in the sun and even though she kept finding glitter on her, I think it was worth it. She even took a few minutes during the reception to change into her mother’s wedding dress for her dance with her dad. This couple had a wonderful group of people supporting them and a beautiful day. Congratulations Marissa & Brayden!! I hope it was everything you dreamed of.
