We could not have dreamed up a more perfect day for Morgan and Andy to begin their married lives together at the stunning and unique Oak Grove greenhouse at Jorgensen Farms! I loved everything about this day from the incredible venue, laid back and fun-loving couple, topped off with an epic sunset. Scroll on to immerse yourself in their special day and see why Jorgensen Farms, is consistently one of the most sought after premium wedding venues in the Columbus, Ohio area.
The day started off with a few casual photos in the wedding suites just preparing for the afternoon and evening ahead! Thr bride and groom each had their own spaces on the property to get ready and hang out.
I love photos that showcase the delicate details! So much goes into bridal design - and the subtle matching embroidery on the veil completes this look.
I love capturing these sweet candid moments of all the loved ones that surround you on such a special day - especially parents and grandparents! It's usually a pretty big day for them too! Shortly before Morgan headed off to see Andy for their first look, she shared a nice moment with her mom and dad.
There were so many thoughtful elements that went into building the Oak Grove venue at Jorgensen Farms, and one of them was how to divide up the spaces. Not only do I love the look of white draping, it's perfect when you need a little extra privacy between spaces. These curtains add a little separation when needed between this lounge space just outside of the bridal suite, and open up to the cocktail area space.
Now Morgan is ready to go see her soon-to-be groom waiting for her in the reception space!
Shortly after, their wedding party joined them for some casual portaits before the ceremony. The lighting in the reception space at Oak Grove makes for some fun and interesting photos!
The weather was just too perfect to stay inside for long, so we headed out to take advantage of the gorgeous property and all of it's many great photo opportunities at Jorgensen Farms.
One of the perks of having a wedding at any one of the amazing venues at Jorgensen Farms is that you really don't need to go anywhere else for photos. Everything can be done here - the ceremony, cocktail hour, reception, and never ending options for gorgeous portraits.
After some portraits outside, we headed into the greenhouse space where the ceremony will take place soon. We met the family for a few group portraits and prepared for the "I Do's" and guests that would soon be arriving.
I've now had the honor of photographing both Morgan, as well as her sister-in-law on their wedding days! It's always a huge compliment when family and friends refer me for something as important as a wedding day!
A few pre-ceremony cocktails and cheers to celebrate and calm the jitters!
As guests begin to arrive, the sweet flower girl takes a few practice walks down the aisle.
Keep scrolling to see all the sweet moments of their ceremony in this stunning greenhouse at Oak Grove! One of the many reasons why this is one of my favorite venues in the Columbus, Ohio area.
Sometimes the littlest of wedding party attendants needs some encouragement! I love this whole series of images of the flower girl and her dad.
I always love a special moment for the mothers of both the bride and groom!
Andy just cannot take his eyes off of his stunning bride!
I jut love this point of view showing the doors of the greenhouse opening to the beautiful space!
Love. laughter, and happily ever after!
I love those sweet mutual glances that couples often share right after the ceremony! You can just tell they are beaming with happiness!
Such a fun wedding party crew! The bride and groom are getting ready to make their grand entrance into the reception to greet their guests and party the night away!
As a photographer, the candid moments are really where I shine! Learning to anticipate the moments and just letting things happen. Other than for designated time for portraits, I'm rarely (if ever) going to stop you in the middle of your fun to pose you. I will offer guidance where needed - but by this part of the day couples are usually ready to just have fun and be in the moment!
When that perfectly gorgeous light accents a perfectly gorgeous moment!
The bride and her dad cutting a rug, then in for that heartfelt hug!
How sweet is this moment of the groom admiring his new wife??
Cheers to the newlyweds!
And now...time to head out for a few mintues alone with just the bride and groom to soak in this perfect sunset light - and those blissful newlywed moments! If opportunity arises, ALWAYS take time for sunset portraits! In addition to it generally being an optimal time for flattering natural light, couples tend to be much more relaxed by this time of the day.
Take a moment to hop in the photo with your family and friends wo love you so much!
Nothing like walking back into your wedding reception and the dj is playing your song!
Ok, the catering staff are the real MVPs at this stage of the night coming in strong with the late night sliders after a long day of celebrating!
So all good things must come to an end eventually...after a rocking dance floor for hours the dj slowed things down and the guests cleared out to allow one last dance for the bride and groom alone. I love this trend!
Perfect amount of time to allow the guests to gather and line up for an epic send-off with sparklers in front of the greenhouse! Congrats again for Morgan and Andy for trusting me with capturing your amazing wedding day!
