When, Lorin, owner of The Enchanted Barn reached out to me to collaborate with him on a winter editorial, without question I was on board! We got married at the barn ourselves a couple years back, so this place always held a special place in my heart. But also, it was at this stage of my life – planning my own Enchanted Barn wedding – that the idea of being a wedding photographer first started circulating in my mind. Fast forward two years later and here I was on the other side of things, about to plan a full-blown editorial with Lorin. Call me sentimental but these past few years, seeing how a dream can grow into everything you imagined. It’s surreal. The barn has always in a way been a part of my story, and this opportunity really meant something to me. Inspiration started flowing and we wasted no time.
Together, with a dream team of Enchanted Barn choice vendors, we pulled together a vision for a winter wedding that was slightly edgy but with an overall organic vibe. We chose romantic, feminine mauves and dusty rose as our primary color, with pops of warmth and deep fall hues. We weren’t sure if we would be given a fall or winter scene that day, so we planned for both. The morning of the shoot we woke to a fresh blanket of snow covering the land, creating this magical whimsy feel. In hindsight, the timing of it really could not have been more perfect.
We took our time getting ready, as we feel this is a part of a wedding day often overlooked; nodding to the details of the bridal separates, jewelry, and so on. We wanted a light and airy space, so we used The Grand Shanty – A farmhouse-styled vacation rental adjacent to the Enchanted Barn – available for you and your wedding party to rent out and enjoy! With windows that let in natural light and white clean shiplap walls, we knew it would be perfect.
It was important that Linyage’s custom bridal separate be a focus of inspiration. Going for a romantic and whimsical feel, we chose a flowy silk organza skirt and hand-sewn, vintage lace bodysuit. We felt our adventure bride should be a little less traditional. So rather than a veil we worked with Jennifer Joyce to design a floral hat to compliment the bride’s bouquet. This created a refreshing take on a traditional aspect.
