Ned and Mandi: Simply Classic!

This is my first wedding to blog about on Mint and Sage and I could not have picked a better one - this one was out of a storybook! I have been so privileged to get to know Ned and Mandi over the last few months, so it was a true joy to photograph their special day. The setting was Ned’s family farm – 400 acres of rolling hills, barns, and a classic white house with a wrap around porch. Who could ask for anything more? It was absolutely beautiful! To add to the romance, a horse and carriage brought all of the guests over the hills to the ceremony site (Ned’s idea!), which overlooked a large pond. The guests enjoyed a reception of dancing under a tent and delicious food catered by the always incredible Puckett’s.

Krystal, Amelia and I spent all day trekking across the property and having lots of fun creating memorable shots for this special couple. There is something extraordinary that happens when it’s just the two of them and Ned and Mandi were so patient to let me try to capture that magic through the lens. Here are some of my favorites from the day…

Ned and Mandi were being rushed to the reception when we asked them to stop and take some pictures here. I'm so glad we did!

Mandi was very sweet to trust me with her dress.

I wasn't sure the branches would hold, but lucky for us, they did!

Love this shot!

I couldn't resist adding this great photo that Amelia took of the horse and carriage. It really captures the feel of the day.

Mandi's bouquet toss was hilarious! The girl doing the jackhammer dance (or is that the sprinkler?) made everyone laugh with her excitment and anticipation...

And she caught it!

I love the look on both Ned and Mandi's faces. Mandi's laughing at something Ned just said and Ned is just looking at her with delight as she laughs.

Congratulations Ned and Mandi! Thank you for letting me be a part of your wedding.
