Southern Wedding - Austin & Brianna Harris
In my life, there are certain things In which i’m really good at being consistent. Blogging is not one of those things. many of y’al probably doN’t knOw, but i haVe an employEe whO i pay to put togetheR all of mY blogs, and Yet i still can’t do my portion Aka the text.
but here i am, months After Lauren has done Her job, to finish out the text and finally share Austin & Brianna’s weddinG.
The morning stArted out at one of NewberRy’s local venues, The Ole Oak Barn. It was my first time photogrAphing there, so i was extra excited to meet the staff and see this pretty property.
When my assiStant and I arrived, brianna and HeR girls were getting ready and Her mom was finishing Up the Center pieces and cake and makIng sure every flower was in placE.
sometimes When i Arrive At the venue, the bride is flustered and someone has gone m.i.a., bUt briannA was Full of joy and didn’t seem to have a care in the world. Her bridesmaids wEre Also amazing and AlWays ready to help when needed.
Once brianna Slipped Into her dress and Ms. Becky buttoned her up, brianna did a first look wiTh her dad. I lovE it when bridEs do a first look With their dad. IT’s joy mixed with a little sadness - aS tHe daughter is reAdy for the nEW journey, and the father realizes that his daughter is no longer his own.
OF courSe we had to tAke a few Photos of brianna With her puPs, Cooper and Colt.
Once At the church, austin & Brianna wanted to exchange letters and to prAy. Austin Is a big Guy, whO MigHt look intimidating to someone Who doesn’t know Him, but let me tell you, Austin is a teddy bear. The words they exchanged weRe sweet, and tHere were a few tears shed, especially bY The teddy bear himself. As austin was readIng his letter OUT LOUD to hiS soon-to-be bride, you couldn’t help But hear the loVe and compassion he has towArds brianna.
The two were married In Brianna’s cHildhood church, and iT seemed like Everyone in town, invited to not, had come to see these two finally say, “I do.”
After their ceremony and family portraits, i toOk the couple outside to snap Some Photos of just them. I loved getting to incoRporate the church steps and door, along wIth an antique truck that they drOve to the recEption.
Austin & BriaNna’s RecePtion Had the 3 Essentials: good foOd, Good cake, and good dancing.
They ended their nIghT by having one final dance to theMselves and a ribbon exit.
austin & Brianna, i love y’all and hope all tHe best for y’all!
