Hannah and Kevin’s wedding was an absolutely beautiful affair. From the venue to the decor, and of course this beautiful couple themselves, everything was picture perfect! The day started on a beautifully sunny morning in late September at Drakewood Farm.

Venues like Drakewood are awesome because there is so much variety in one venue! From the beautiful, bright bridal suite, to the forest-y ceremony site, to the sunny fields next to the barn, and to the huge reception site!! You couldn’t ask for a better location to get such an awesome variety for your wedding.

Hannah and Kevin chose to get married in the courtyard in the woods, tucked away at the back of the venue. With a little coaxing from Grandma, the tiny flower girl toddled down the aisle, followed shortly after by Hannah who looked absolutely stunning. After a lovely ceremony, and what was probably one of the best first kisses I’ve ever seen, Hannah, Kevin, and I walked the grounds to the many beautiful vignettes around the farm.

The most incredible facet of Hannah and Kevin’s relationship is their sense of humor. Kevin lives to make Hannah laugh, and it shows in their photos. It was so wonderful to be able to capture the two of them making each other so very happy.

After the ceremony and pictures, guests were ushered into the impeccably decorated barn and reception hall to await the arrival of the happy couple. Hannah and Kevin entered through big double doors to a room full of love and twinkling lights. An emotional speech from Hannah’s dad left the room a little misty as the party moved into dinner, cake cutting, and finally, dancing!
