Ben & Jen’s Flawless Farm Wedding

A country wedding for the ages

Hours before Ben & Jen were scheduled to stay their vows, omonus clouds darkened the sky with streaks of lightning that danced across the sky and thunder that jarred the ground beneath my feet. What a way for an outdoor, country wedding to start.

As I arrived at the farm, the rain had softened to a constant drizzle, which was an improvement from the torrential downpour. A pasture filled with sheep and two donkeys greeted me as I entered the property. According to the owner, donkeys are the perfect animal to keep coyotes away (you learn something new every day).

The couple was supposed to get married under a tree on the property, but had to shift to a location under  a covered patio because of the rain. miraculously, the rain completely stopped and the sun shone through the clouds right as the wedding started.

Marry Me by Train started on the speakers as Jennifer walked down the aisle arm in arm with her father. Her dress was simple, yet so elegant. Also, it had pockets y’all. Pockets!!

Ben & Jen said their vows under a handmade arch on the first official day of fall. Though the leaves were not turning orange and yellow (and no one expects they ever will) and thanks to the recent rain storm, the temperature was a comfortable 80-ish, it was a stunning fall wedding.

This was both Ben & Jen’s second marriage. They each have 2 children from a previous marriage and a son together. Jennifer’s beautiful girls stood as bridesmaids, their dusty rose lace dresses looked perfect with their simple straight hair. Ben’s boys were such handsome groomsmen in their sky blue button up shirts and navy bow ties.

The reception moved to the inside of the farm house where twinkle lights, votive’s and country chic decorations adjourned the tables and walls. The whole wedding was pulled together by “the village” friends and family decorated and cooked. One of Jennifer’s best friends did her makeup. Her other best friend supplied the stunning farm property and put her husband to work while she helped get Jennifer ready and Ben’s father officiated the wedding.
