November3rd

If you missed it, here are parts 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Today I’ll share photos from the reception, including a lot of fun detail shots, taken in low light. Keep in mind as you look at these photos, this place is not a wedding location, but an old barn that Jess and Sam’s friends turned into a special, beautiful place to celebrate their marriage. The atmosphere felt like something out of a romantic movie. :)

The guests all sat at one long table, spanning the length of the barn.

They had an old typewriter out for people to use to “sign” the guestbook.

Another option guests had was to sign a guitar. What a fun idea!

Cupcakes were on the menu for dessert. Mmm…

Near the end of the evening, a bonfire was started and a group of guys began a drum circle.

Jess and her girls danced to the rhythm, twirling around the fire!

I love it that she didn’t worry about her dress!
