October was such a beautiful month for the wedding of two beautiful people. Phillip and Adriana were married at the picturesque venue of Willow Creek Conservatory in Landrum, South Carolina. With so many different sites for the ceremony and just as many stunning places for pictures, Willow Creek was a photographer’s dream to shoot at! It was a little overwhelming at first, how to decide where to take pictures.
Phil and Adriana opted to see each other prior to the ceremony. They had a sweet moment with just the two of them before we moved on to pictures with everyone else. I always highly recommend this to everyone! It helps get the nerves out of the way and allows for some private time with just you and your soon-t0-be-spouse.
The wedding party was made up of close friends and family and it was obvious they all truly cared about Phil and Adriana. Many traveled from far away to be a part of the special day. Both Phil and Adriana have a heart for the camping ministry and plan to spend their weekends helping at a camp in Wyoming, where Phil grew up.
Adriana chose a brilliant blue with an orange accent color for her fall wedding. The bright colors made for a stunning contrast in the fall setting. Willow Creek Conservatory has an iconic large red barn set next to a rustic water wheel, just across from the covered bridge. Like I mentioned, there were so many places to choose from in shooting the wedding pictures.
The ceremony was sweet, as Phillip’s father did the honors. He incorporated that personal touch, showing just how much he loves his son and new daughter-in-law. Walking down the aisle as a newly minted husband and wife, they made their way to the reception in a vintage Corvette.
After the ceremony, there was a reception held on the lawn complete with yummy treats and finger foods. Of course what fall wedding would be complete without some warm cider?
Phillip and Adriana spent some time talking with guests before they cut their cake and the toasts were given. They quickly left in a haze of bubbles being blown at them, off to their honeymoon and long road trip back home to Wyoming.
I greatly appreciated the opportunity to photograph Phil and Adriana’s wedding. They are really a couple with a big heart for God and young people. I also appreciate my second shooter, Sophie Hopkins Photography, for tagging along and photographing with me!
