JoEllen + Kevin | A Well-Traveled Romance at Legacy Farms | September 23

From the moment they arrived, JoEllen + Kevin knew Legacy Farms was the place for them. It is a venue you can fall in love with at a single glance. JoEllen + Kevin chose to have their wedding at the heart of the property with the reception lakeside by the pier. Their September wedding was absolutely beautiful and the pictures speak for themselves. Congratulations Mr. + Mrs. Buckley! We are so happy for you and wish you the best. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your special day.

Photos by the talented Jenna Henderson. She did such an amazing job, expecially as she also doubled as the Matron of Honor, with assitance from her second shooters, Melissa and Alex.

What a lovely couple! We had so much fun planning with them.

Gorgeous flowers from the Enchanted Florist!

This was only fitting since Kevin is a teacher.

They used a book of engagement photos for guests to sign.

DIY by Kevin's mom: tin cans wrapped in with map paper. Add flowers and they make a great centerpiece!

The photo booth was a big hit! The photo strips made great favors.

 

Surrounded by vintage books from around the world, this cake coordinated well with

JoEllen + Kevin's travel theme. We just loved the globe cake topper!

 The way the pier reflects on the lake is simply beautiful.

 The soft glow of string lights filled the reception area.

The one big thing Kevin wanted at their reception was lots and lots of bubbles!

 Jenna Henderson captured this joyful moment perfectly.

CJ's Fall 2009 Open House Pictures!

We can't say enough about what a fantastic success last night's Open House was! Thanks to all our clients for coming and dreaming up their weddings, our potential clients considering CJ's for their big day, and of course all our wonderful vendor friends for their contributions and support! I'd put our wedding vendor community up against any city in the country, no doubt!

Please enjoy these early pictures from Shannon Jenkins Photography, and a big thanks to her for sharing them with us! More to come from her and our other photography friends who were so kind to come and shoot.

April & Tim - June 27, 2009 at The Hermitage

I am so excited to finally share this wedding with all of you! April and Tim were some of my all-time favorite clients to work with, and despite the record-breaking heat that weekend, their event turned out beautifully, especially surrounded by their friends and family who so clearly adored them. A HUGE thank you to Mark & Noelle at McCoy Photo Duo (formerly McCoy Studio) for sharing these amazing pictures with us!

April was, of course, completely stunning! This first picture of her just floors me every time I see it - the parasols were a last minute find, and they added SO much.

April had strong ideas about colors and styles, and I really loved the bold choices she made, from the unique bridesmaids dresses to her handmade custom runners. She even chose to use material from the runners with the invitations, and they turned out amazing!

The ceremony was held in restored The Hermitage Church on the grounds at the home of President Andrew Jackson. The program fans - complete with April and Tim's monogram, also appearing on the invitations, napkins, and an embroidered altar piece - came in very handy.

The reception was held at Tulip Grove Mansion, also on the grounds.

One of my favorite groom's cakes of all time, easily. Great job by Amy at The Bake Shoppe! :)
