Jen & Will's Heartfelt Wedding at The Barn at Bay Horse Inn

July 26th, 2024, was a day filled with love, remembrance, and beautiful moments as Jen & Will celebrated their wedding at The Barn at Bay Horse Inn. As a Greenwood Wedding Photographer, I had the honor of capturing this special day. This wedding held even more significance as we had previously photographed Will's sister Jenna's wedding in 2020. Tragically, Jenna & Will's brother passed away unexpectedly, and the couple made sure to include touching reminders of him throughout their day.

A Day to Remember

Jen & Will's wedding was intimate and heartfelt. Opting for our 6-hour wedding photography package, they focused on what mattered most, creating a day that was personal and meaningful. One of the most touching moments was during their first dance.

As the setting sun cast a beam of light through a "fog" in the air, it felt as if his brother was celebrating with them, a sentiment shared by everyone present.

Embracing the Smaller Wedding Trend

We are loving the trend towards smaller weddings. Jen & Will's wedding had a smaller wedding party and guest list, allowing them to invest their time, energy, and budget into what truly mattered. Jen found her stunning wedding dress off the rack at The Wedding Loft in Greenwood, a decision that exemplified her focus on simplicity and personal touches.

Top 5 Tips for Downsizing Your Wedding Day but Upsizing Your Experience

Prioritize Your Guest List:

Invite only those who are closest to you. A smaller guest list creates a more intimate and meaningful atmosphere.

Focus on Personal Touches:

Incorporate elements that reflect your personalities and relationship. Jen & Will's inclusion of reminders of Will's brother added depth and emotion to their day.

Choose a Meaningful Venue:

Select a venue that resonates with you. The Barn at Bay Horse Inn was the perfect backdrop for Jen & Will's rustic and charming wedding.

Simplify Your Decor:

Opt for simple yet elegant decor. Focus on a few standout elements rather than overwhelming the space with details.

Invest in Key Vendors:

Spend your budget on the aspects that will make the biggest impact, such as photography, food, and attire. Jen's dress from The Wedding Loft and the delicious food from Simply Served were highlights of the day.

Jen & Will's wedding was a testament to the beauty of smaller, more intimate celebrations. By focusing on what truly mattered, they created a day that was deeply personal and unforgettable. As a Greenwood Wedding Photographer, it was an honor to capture these precious moments.
