You couldn't ask for a more perfect autumn rustic wedding day! Sure, the clouds rolled in instead of sunshine, but the love radiating from Sugar Pine Barn was enough to light up the whole place. Hannah's family embraced Aaron with open arms, officially welcoming him into their warm circle. Aaron's friends delivered emotional speeches. They spoke not just of their happiness for the couple, but also of how proud Aaron's father would have been to see him all grown up on his wedding day. It was a beautiful blend of laughter, happy tears, and pure love – a day that celebrated the magic of starting a new chapter together!

In January 2023, Hannah spotted my booth at the Ever After Bridal Show at the Hapo Center in Pasco. We instantly connected over my photography style, and guess what? A few months later, she reached out to see if I could capture the magic of her October wedding at Sugar Pine Barn – what an amazing way to come full circle!


Tears welled up during the ceremony when a sweet surprise unfolded. Hannah, never having met Aaron's father who passed away when he was young, had a special photo of them printed. The ring bearer carried it down the aisle, a beautiful way to include him in their special day. The emotion on Aaron's face as he saw the photo was so touching. They even had a reserved chair for his dad, where the photo found its home during the ceremony.

Sweet Surprises at Hannah and Aaron's Autumn Rustic Wedding

If you want to talk about squad goals–On her way home from a competition, Hannah's old high school cheer coach surprised her with the entire team! They just had to pop in and support their girl on her big day. The look of pure joy on Hannah's face? Priceless! There were more happy tears later when Aaron's oldest sister stepped in for the mother/son dance while Hannah danced with her dad. Honestly, even I got a little misty-eyed behind the camera. This wedding had so many special moments, but those two were the cherry on top!
