I love the story of Sara and Troy’s wedding day. Things were not at all how Sara had planned, but they were, well, kind of perfect. A few weeks ago, Sara found out that the barn she planned her reception in burned to the ground in a lightning storm. Plans moved forward for an outdoor ceremony and reception at the original site, but the week and day of the wedding called for incessant rain. Ouch.
But it all came together beautifully. The cement floor for the new barn was poured 3 days before the wedding, making a peaceful scene for the ceremony with a beautiful lake view. A tent was put up for the reception. And friends and family all pitched in to make it amazing.
The “back-up” location for getting ready since the cabin Sara had in mind didn’t work in the rain. Hmmm … I think that turned out ok!?!?!
Still getting married, rain or shine!!
I loved this location for the shot of Troy … one of my favorite groom portraits in a while:
The showers cleared up just in time for their first moment together and some beautiful outdoor shots! Hooray!
The groom with his men ~ the wedding party members were such troopers all day ~ in and out as we watched and worked around the rain:
Heading down the aisle with her dad:
The rain was falling on the lake and there was even some gentle thunder in the background during their vows … it was amazingly peaceful and serene!
And on to the party! Gigi’s cupcakes that I was eyeing all night … I have a weakness for cupcakes!! Can we just make a note that there is just as much icing as there is cake? That’s how to do it, if you ask me!
Congrats, Sara and Troy! Your day was so unique and truly awesome!
