Photographing people that are close to your heart is always simply THE BEST!! We’ve known Ben and Michelle for several years now and they are just AMAZING people! So sweet and so easy-going! 🙂 In the past few years, they have been part of many of our weddings and this November they finally got to be the center of attention! 🙂 Their rustic outdoor wedding was held at the Barrington Hill Farm in Dade City on a lovely Saturday afternoon. And everything turned out just exactly how Ben and Michelle had wished for! Before we dive into the photos, let’s give a HUGE thanks to Marc and Cornelia, our photographers, who captures these beautiful images of the couple’s amazing wedding day! They did a fantastic job!! 🙂

Because Michelle absolutely loves to create things with her own hands, she put together most of the wedding decor from scratch, including these beautifully made, rustic invitations.

The party definitely started early in Michelle’s dressing room and no one was short of laughter!

After the first look and a few snaps of the girls, the ceremony started. It was held under a big oak tree from which a gorgeous chandelier was hung. When Michelle had ordered that specific chandelier online, she didn’t know it would come in 1,000 separate pieces. But luckily she had Ben, who more than willingly assembled the entire chandelier for his bride.

Honestly, we’re SUPER impressed with what Michelle has accomplished that day. With the help of family members and friends, she created all of the table decoration for the reception. Not only did they design the reception decor but they bundled the flowers, put together the table numbers, stitched up the table runner,  etc. etc. etc. VERY IMPRESSIVE!!

Overall this wedding included everything a perfect wedding should include: lots of laughter, fun, tears of joy, and most of all LOVE!! Congratulations again Michelle and Ben!! We wish you a lifetime full of happiness and enjoy your honeymoon in Italy! 🙂
