Jackie & Gerald: Book Inspired Pinehall at Eisler Farms Wedding

To Mordor and back, with Jackie & Gerald ❤️

From the green hills of the Shire to the wooded realm of Lothlórien, this wedding felt as if it were a fantasy straight out of the books Jackie & Gerald adore most!

Jackie & Gerald's wedding day at Pinehall at Eisler Farms was nothing short of a fairytale. The two made sure to incorporate so many special details - including their main overarching theme of books! Besides incorporating lots of beautiful vintage books into their decor, this pair incorporated some very subtle nods to one of their favorite series, Lord of the Rings - from signage to walking down the aisle music, to a personal message from Lord Denethor to Gerald (as Jackie's wedding gift to Gerald - the photos of his reaction are in the blog post below and are just the sweetest!).

We absolutely adored getting to spend the day celebrating this sweet, sweet pair! Their genuine hearts & kindness made our jobs so, so easy. We love you two! Congratulations on your wedding day, and on your marriage!

PS - thanks to Nicholas for his knowledge of LOTR, making this blog post possible ;)

Brittany & Ian: Tropical Wedding Celebration at Pinehall at Eisler Farms

I knew from the moment I first chatted with Brittany & Ian that their wedding was going to be unique, colorful, and fun! And if you’ve been reading the blog for any length of time, you’ve probably noticed that I LOVE COLOR in photos! Their vibrant, tropical-themed wedding had an abundance of lush greenery, vibrant flowers, fresh fruit, and even some "tropical" rain storms that made us feel like we were shooting a wedding in the rain forest! ;) Okay, so, the random rain storms that came throughout the day weren’t anyone’s favorite part of the wedding, but we were able to still get some gorgeous photos while dodging the rain!

Other fun details you’ll see below include: pineapples galore - even in the bride’s bouquet and HAIR! (look closely and you’ll see what I mean!), as well as an antique shuttle bus (killer!), goats, and fireworks!!! Really and truly, this wedding had it all.

Congratulations on your marriage, Brittany & Ian, and thank you so much for letting me be a part of your beautiful wedding day!
