I have officially had my first Steampunk wedding! Why it’s taken this long I’ll never know but this is definitely a favorite of mine. Their outfits were AMAZING!! The Whitegate Inn was a fitting setting with its vintage style and antique pieces throughout. Some scattered rain clouds brought the wedding indoors, but the fireplace set a magical ambiance, and the couple’s 6 foot distance measurement bar kept everyone safe. It was a comical nod to the ever uninvited guest…COVID.
I loved the special touches Kelly and Ryan had in their ceremony. A beautiful letter box which held a sealed love letter to each other to be read on their one year anniversary. They will continue the ritual replacing and reading the new letters every year there after. And the combining of spirits in a monogrammed decanter, symbolizing the joining of their lives, and the sharing of each other in their union. And always a great way to drink some whiskey during the ceremony! (Tipping my hat to your genius) All sealed with a kiss while family cheered on in the room and from iPhones.
The weather outside was perfect for photos, with just an occasional sprinkle coming down. Kelly and Ryan were a vision in Steampunk as they walked around the gorgeous gardens loving each other in their post nuptial bliss. We got some sweet couple portraits, and of course, details of their bride and groom fashions. Kelly, I am going to search for those boots online! OMG they were fabulous.
Another beautiful wedding for 2020 despite the craziness of the world. And what a joy to see them so happy together. Many joyful wishes to you both for a lifetime of love, happiness, and dressing up together. I was honored to be there to witness your special day as your photographer.
