Jack and Allison | Raspberry Plain

I pulled up to Raspberry Plain on Allison and Jack’s wedding day and felt a little bit like I had just stepped into a Jane Austen novel….The property and house are absolutely beautiful and it was the perfect setting for their romantic and elegant affair. Allison has the best classy and feminine style and I loved how her vision for her wedding came together! The romantic floral arrangements, navy + gray + blush color palette, and her classic bridal look were perfection!

She arrived with her bridesmaids to put the finishing touches on her makeup and to get into her dress and you could feel the excitement in the room! I had previously photographed Allison and Jack’s engagement session, so I already knew she would be a beautiful bride, but she was STUNNING…and I think Jack thought so too! They chose to share a first look together before their ceremony and I’m so happy that they did, because it was such a sweet moment!

The day progressed and after the ceremony we had scheduled a little more time for portraits before they were to be introduced at their reception as Mr. and Mrs….we had the most incredible evening light and took some of my favorite portraits of all time! I can’t wait for you to see them!

Allison and Jack, thank you so much for choosing me to capture your special day…It was so wonderful getting to know your friends and family throughout the day and it is so evident why you two are so loved by friends and family! I hope you enjoy my favorite pictures from the day!

And a big thanks to Lauren for being my second shooter!

B Floral and Event Design did an INCREDIBLE job with the flowers…some of the most beautiful I’ve seen!

See what I mean? She is stunning!!

I love this bridesmaid look! You can’t go wrong with navy and pearls!

The lighting was unreal!

Such a beautiful couple!
