Halloween Wedding at Bridgeton 1878 House and Barn

Laken and James’s wedding is one that I’ve been looking forward to for so long! I first met Laken at her matron of honor, Amanda’s destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico last year. That was such a fun bridal party to work with, and I was thrilled when Laken asked me to photograph her wedding after her and James got engaged! It’s been so fun to work with this same group of friends multiple times now!

These two had such a fun Halloween wedding. The weather was perfect for a late October day and everything was so beautiful! Laken and her bridesmaids got ready at a cute little cabin with a beautiful lake view before we headed over to Bridgeton 1878 house and barn for the first look, portraits, and wedding. I had never been to Bridgeton before, but it’s so adorable! There are so many cute shops, a mill, and even a beautiful waterfall to take photos in front of! I also loved that these two made room in their timeline for sunset photos! We got such a beautiful sunset last night!

Laken and James, it was SUCH an honor to be your wedding photographer! You two are the sweetest and I LOVED getting to work with you and photograph you two again! I can’t wait to finish editing your full wedding gallery! Until then, enjoy these first few sneak peeks!
