Rustic Barns to Boho Blooms: Hannah and Kellen’s Outdoor Fall Wedding Details

An Outdoor Fall Wedding

This barn wedding was so special to me! Hannah the bride? She's practically family! Growing up with her, thanks to her sister who happens to be my high school best friend, made this day even more memorable. Being entrusted with capturing her big day and all the stunning outdoor fall wedding details felt like stepping into a role that was meant just for me – like being another sister by her side.

Picture this: October in the central valley of California, where the weather is just honestly perfect (which doesn't happen often), with clear skies and a gentle breeze. It was the ideal setting for Hannah and Kellen's rustic barn wedding, and let me tell you, it was nothing short of magical.

Now, let's talk about the main event – the wedding itself. Imagine a rustic barn decked out with gorgeous terracotta, white flowers, whimsical dried flowers, and charming signage. It was like something out of a fairytale, with every detail thoughtfully arranged to perfection.

Bridal Party Style: Terracotta and Boho Vibes

Hannah and Kellen's bridal party perfectly complemented the fall vibes with the bridesmaids dressed in stunning terracotta-colored dresses, while the groomsmen rocked off-white suits. And let's not forget about the bride and groom themselves – Hannah looked effortlessly beautiful in her boho wedding dress, while Kellen exuded style in his green suit. They were the epitome of chic and laid-back elegance for their outdoor fall wedding!

Outdoor Fall Wedding Details and Decor 

And don’t get me started on the reception details! These were my favorite photos to capture of the day! Imagine boho florals all over the tables, with terracotta-colored napkins and glasses adding a pop of warmth. The sweetheart table was a vision of romance, decorated in gorgeous florals and a cute sign proudly displaying their last name. And to top it all off, a cozy seating area invited guests to relax and mingle in style.

Let Things Unfold Naturally

Let things unfold naturally, just as they did for Hannah and Kellen's wedding day. I like to take a documentary-style approach, letting things unfold naturally and capturing them in all of their perfect imperfection. I'm a big believer that you should be in love with the experience in front of my camera just as much as you love your gallery at the end of it all. I work on a hybrid of film and digital, giving you all the nostalgia and memories bursting out of every single photograph. Embrace the imperfections and candid moments that make your day uniquely yours. Trust your photographer to capture the raw emotion and authentic moments that will become cherished memories for years to come.
