Haley + Chase // a brunch wedding at Woodend Sanctuary

I’ve photographed over 100 weddings, but I’ve never photographed a brunch celebration before this day. After Haley + Chase’s Woodend Sanctuary wedding, I think I really need to shoot more brunch weddings…

I was only with these two for five hours, but it’s hard to believe looking back at this gallery. We fit so much emotion and early October beauty in to a single morning. Their first look reactions. The sweet moments with Haley’s sisters helping her get ready and walking her down the aisle. Her grandmother officiating. Chase’s olive suit. The early morning light coming through the Woodend Sanctuary trees and beautiful autumn florals during the ceremony. The incredible, beautiful brunch setup complete with a donut bar. Chase’s best man who couldn’t be in attendance recording a video toast for him. And Haley and Chase rolling effortlessly from intense emotion and laughter to being present in the moment and taking in the beauty surrounding them.

Here’s the story of their day.
