A Pine Manor Carbondale Wedding

If there ever was a wedding I wish I’d budgeted more time for bridal details, it would have been Branna & John’s! You’d think with a second shooter, an hour would have been plenty but Branna had coordinated everything so well, I just couldn’t get enough! I felt the same way about the entire venue, Branna in her dress, and John in his black bow tie… I could have spent HOURS photographing the gorgeousness! Needless to say, I would love the opportunity to shoot there again… any takers???
My favorite parts of the day have to be, in chronological order:

Branna’s nerves before the ceremony. It’s given to be nervous but I’d never photographed a bride more anxious to see her groom! It was so sweet! Each step closer to the start of the ceremony, Branna grew more and more nervous. Getting her into her gown was such a treat!

John’s face (and tears!) as Branna walked down the aisle to meet him. If every traditional look was like theirs, I would never recommend a first look! Priceless!

And finally, the mess Branna & John made on each other’s faces during the cake cutting! The image at the end of the blog post is just the final result. The lead up was quite hilarious!
