Arthur & Eryn

 

We got to meet Arthur and Eryn at New Moon Cafe what feels like 2 years ago now but we knew right away that we were going to love this wedding day. They had a lot of Lord of the Rings and Nordic themes for decor and not only are we big Lord of the Rings nerds among a lot of other things that we found we have in common but, we absolutely love animals and any chance for animals to be involved in a wedding day is pretty much the best wedding day ever. Being that this was on their own horse farm with two dogs, three horses and a bunch of goats and donkeys. We were having a great time and so inspired by everything that they had for decor. The first thing we were greeted by when finding their home was the big sign with an Elven style quote/play on words with a sign from Lord of the Rings and Morgan’s eyes literally lit up. We pulled into the property and were greeted by Arthur and his best man and given the run down of the space and animals before heading inside with the girls. After seeing how we wanted to setup for some of the video and live stream in the ceremony space, we went in to say hey to Eryn and her girls. We quickly started on details of her dress in their bedroom to keep it close and away from the groom and also photographed some of the flat lay details that we took to the stables. Fast forward a bit and everyone is dressed and ready to start the ceremony so we started the live stream and said hello to the viewers. Everyone made their way out of the gate and to their spots smiling from ear to ear and then the bride made her entrance riding her horse Titus. They built a stare set for her to dismount and walk the aisle with her father the rest of the way and everything went flawlessly. We also would like to add that as soon as she came around the corner, a few of the animals decided to cheer them on and it was both hilarious and adorable. She walked down the aisle and Arthur had a huge smile the entire time. In the ceremony they had their families and officiant provide the three strands of rope symbolically for a cord of three strands which we loved witnessing. Once they exchanged their vows and rings then sealed the ceremony with a kiss, they made their way back up the aisle as husband and wife. Eryn went ahead and started mounting Titus again so we could get some photos with the horses quickly and have the handlers feed them.

We finished photos with the horses and headed over to where we had the family go for family formals and began to go through the list we had specific to the day and photographed them all and had a lot of good laughs during. As soon as we finished and dismissed family to go over to the reception, we did a few with the full bridal party and then straight into the couples portraits. We ended the couples portraits right next to the huge bonfire near the reception and then it was time for everyone to go eat and be merry for a while. Everyone got to enjoy the amazing food that Cordially Invited provided before getting to some toasts, cake cutting and a beautiful moment where Eryn surprised one of her bridesmaids by handing her the bouquet instead of throwing it. The night ended for us with beautiful dances and everyone enjoying each others company lit by fire and the moon which felt like the perfect way to end with their families that night as we made our way back home. We so look forward to seeing what the future holds for these two and their families (including the animals).
