December wedding at The Back Forty

My LAST wedding of 2021… and it’s a good one…

It was such a rainy but a beautiful December wedding day at The Back Forty. Honestly, the day before and on the way to Harley and Ryan’s wedding day I was watching the weather. It was pouring on us when we left the house and it was supposed to rain all day. I was crossing my fingers and praying we would get a rain break. When we got two minutes away from the venue it stopped and the sun came out, I checked my weather app and it had cleared up some. Their wedding would obviously be beautiful wether it was raining or not honestly though.. It continued to rain most of the day but we got a few breaks in between and ran outside for a few portraits. Which were absolutely beautiful, and some of my favorites I’ve ever taken…

Harley and Ryan are such a joy to be around. The moment we met them in person at their engagement session in Montevallo, we knew their wedding was not only gonna be beautiful but so much fun. When you’re around Ryan, you honestly can’t help but to laugh. When we got in the car to leave The Graves wedding day, Tanner said “Ryan is the funniest person”… And, Harley will keep you laughing with her personality and her honesty but has the sweetest heart! They are the perfect match, and we were so honored to capture their day.

Harley and Ryan’s wedding day was a Chrismasy wedding dream! From her beautiful long sleeve dress (that I was beyond obsessed with), to the Christmas decor, and florals. Everything was absolutely beautiful! Harley and Ryan had the perfect December wedding!

Congratulations to The GRAVES! Merry Christmas!

Ryan’s dad joked around and zip tied Ryan while getting ready, since Ryan always wants to zip tie everything his dad says…
The sweetest daddy/daughter first look… Harley’s daddy means the world to her, and it’s so special that she has a dad and best friend in one.
Harley had Ryan open the sweetest gift before their first look, a pin with a photo of his granny on it that says “I’m with you always. Love, Granny”.
