Absolutely loved the wedding that we shot here in 2021. The Wellfield Botanic Garden was the ceremony location and it was beautiful. There were so many options for photos – from ivy walls to large florals and a pavilion. Although it was an extremely hot day, the couple opted to do all pre-ceremony photos out in the garden and I am so glad that they did (and I’m sure they were too!) The ceremony was held on the lawn and all of the backdrops in our photos were great. The space was able to accommodate the guest count of over 150. After the ceremony, we did couple portraits around the garden and we were able to capture unique shots from pre-ceremony pictures – all on the property – because the gardens had that many options. We headed about a mile across town and had the reception at the Lerner Crystal Ballroom. The ballroom was large and, although we did not take many pictures on the outside of the building, there was a lot of potential for getting a city feel for sunset.
