Devin and Valerie

 

Devin and Valerie were a last minute due to Covid-19 situation and we got to hop on a zoom meeting to meet Valerie a few weeks before and could tell that we would love being a part of their wedding day already. Having not even met Devin yet, once we met on the wedding day he was super kind and so happy so we thoroughly enjoyed the wedding day with them both. It was such beautiful weather and a nice cool breeze blew through on their hilltop ceremony at the Big Red Barn in Aiken.

We started the day with details as we always do and grabbed her beautiful dress from Elegant Bridals to adventure out and find the spot we wanted to hang the dress and landed on the big sliding barn door. We photographed all of the venue and reception details also as well as a few getting ready shots with the guys. Before too long, it was close to time for the ceremony and the guests waited in the shade before going to their seats. Once everyone started heading that way and everyone made their way down the aisle to the music, the bride was brought over on the golf cart to make her entrance. It was such a beautiful and intimate ceremony and once they said their I-do’s they kissed and happily made their way back up the aisle together as husband and wife!

We then knocked out the few family formals and bridal party photos before venturing around the property a little more with the couple for their romantic sunset photos. We had some good laughs and did a few bridal portraits as well towards the end and then headed back to the barn for their entrance and dances. After that everyone hopped into line at the buffet for their dinner. We actually got to sit across from some friends of friends to talk over dinner and also met the mother a groom that we will be photographing next September which was a fun small world scenario! Shortly after dinner, they grabbed their champagne glasses and headed to the champagne fountain for the toast and cake cutting. After that all that was left was the bouquet and garter tosses which as seen in the photos, had a lot of anticipation and were hilarious! All of that was done in a 5 hour time span and we had time at the end to get a photo with their truck that they would be driving away in later on. Once we finished those shots, we said our goodbyes and congratulated them and wished them safe travels for their honeymoon! We are so excited for this sweet couples and cannot wait to see what the next chapter holds for their lives together!
