I love when you can feel a couple’s tenderness just pouring out of a photo. This is how I feel about this first image; there’s no place else they’d rather be but in each others arms. You can feel it.
Harrison affectionately calls Jenna “hippie.” I met Jenna in college, and I’ve always loved her “hippie” (read: giving, carefree) spirit. : ) And everything about this wedding was local and interwoven full of details and help from family & friends. I loved so much about it — from their dogs as part of the wedding party to their photobooth “wish tree” at the reception. And OH MY GOODNESS was this reception full of fun people! There were definitely some dancers breaking it DOWN!

Jenna & Harrison were married in mid-September in the mountains of Weaverville, North Carolina on a breathtakingly beautiful day at Claxton Farm. I was overjoyed to be there to capture their special moments throughout the day. I believe they are quite the match, and I wish them more happiness than their hearts can hold. Congrats! : )
This trivet belonged to Harrison’s grandmother:
This furry friend was here to greet us as we arrived at the farm… Bouncer? : )
Mom/daughter share a moment.
Jenna loves yoga, so I thought I’d try a group shot idea that I’d been holding on to for awhile… I like it. : )
Jenna, you are SO beautiful.
I about lost myself in giggles when I saw Hatfield’s tie.
Brother/sister share a post-ceremony hug. : )
SUPER adorable cake toppers. : )

Below is Jenna’s “second mom,” and BOY was she breaking down during the reception. I LOVED it.
