Happy November! Today is the start of my favorite month! I don’t know why it’s always been my favorite. . . It may have something to do with the fact that it includes my birthday (tomorrow!) and my very favorite holiday – Thanksgiving! I’m generally not a fan of being cold but I love the sweaters, boots, hot tea, candles, and beautiful leaves that all come along with the season change. Plus, the fall season usually hosts some of my favorite weddings, including this one, of course! Sarah + Justin are such a sweet couple. I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a bride as adorably nervous as Sarah when she arrived at the Gardens before the ceremony! And after they were pronounced man + wife, they hardly left each other’s sides the rest of the night… holding hands and stealing kisses throughout the reception.

I loved the simple beauty of the invitations. . .
Jonathan photographed the guys in the house while I hung out with the girls in the bridal cabin. (P.S. Have I mentioned that I love when my husband gets to shoot with me? It’s so fun).
The taxidermy on the walls was awesome! Such a perfect guys room.
The girls got ready in the bridal suite on the other side of the property …
Sarah and her mom shared a sweet moment before heading outside to walk the aisle. . .
Don’t you love these full-length bridesmaids dresses?
Jonathan got this shot of Sarah and her dad waiting around the corner. . .
Husband + wife!
See how sweet they are together? Love it.
We found this bird’s nest sitting on the porch swing… I think it made a pretty sweet ring shot, don’t you?
Beautiful fall color was found in all the details. . .
Sarah and her grandma have such a special relationship. I loved watching them interact throughout the day.. it was so precious!
The day ended with a perfect sparkler exit for the Mr. and Mrs. . . .
