My very favorite thing is photographing large families, and Brady and Anita’s wedding certainly had that covered! Anita’s 7 siblings gathered from North and South to celebrate, along with many other friends and family. We headed over to Country Acres Retreat for bridal party portraits, and the field and pond were definitely THE spot to take them (if you ever want a secluded place to stay, with it’s own pond, and a peaceful morning coffee on the front deck while the birds serenade you, this place is it!)! The first time Brady saw his bride was when she rounded the doorway to walk down the aisle, so we finished up their family photos and bridal portraits in the ferns behind the church. The contrast created by the cloudy sky and deep green of the forest was stunning!
