Amy and Brandon’s wedding was what I would call “contemporary country”. They mixed rustic charm with modern flair – a lodge atmosphere combined with a modern lemon yellow color scheme (including floral design by Albritton’s Flowers):The lace on Amy’s Casablanca dress went perfectly with the wedding’s theme:Pleasant Hill Presbyterian Church was built in 1852 – Amy and Brandon and their families did quite a bit of repair work and sprucing up to the church in order to have their ceremony there. Their wedding was the first wedding held in the church in over 80 years!More touches of yellow were found at the ceremony – including wedding program fans created by Amy herself. She can make some for you too, just visit her Etsy store, Too Cute Stationery & Gifts! The inside of the chuch was delightfully quaint. I loved how the lemon yellow Watters & Watters bridesmaids dresses popped against the simple white backdrop.More rustic touches greeted guests on their way to the reception at Cedar Creek Lodge – lots of wood, natural and yellow burlap, haybales, and even buckets of roasted peanuts were there to tantalize their tastebuds before enjoying Southern food from Magnolia House Catering.As the evening grew dark, white lights and torches illuminated the lodge so they could dance under the lights and stars to the sounds of Jimmy Allen and The Reminder Band:Thanks Amy and Brandon for sticking it out during the crazy heat we had that day – I hope your honeymoon in the Dominican was fantastic and you didn’t run into any gigantic bugs like the one that was flying around during your reception!
Great job Julie.
Love the detail and reception shots.
Beautiful work Julie, I always like taking a peak at your posts, never disappointing!
Thanks Julie for everything! The pictures are perfect and the blog really tells the story of the wedding!
Holy goodness, these are some gorgeous images. Wonderful. Also, I love their colors and details.
Awesome work Julie! I love all the details shots!!! Kudos
STUNNING STUNNING STUNNING! I love your work. May I ask what the deal was with the lemons on the pews? In addition to your stunning photography, i just love the style of the wedding itself! And you captured it perfectly.
@Natasha – the lemons were part of the decor, just an alternative to doing flowers!
[…] love seeing people from weddings past – all four members of the Smith family were in Amy & Brandon’s wedding (Amy is Steven’s sister), and thankfully, the day of their family session was not blazing hot […]
