Jake and Lisa were married May 24 at the beautiful Barr Mansion. We arrived to find final details being put in place and a few early guests. I followed a group of girls all dressed in deep purple and found Lisa about ready to step into her dress. She was one calm bride!
We had a chunk of time to kill before the ceremony began so once Lisa was all ready we headed out to the balcony to get some fun shots. It really was a gorgeous day despite the torrential rain we had the day before.
While I was with the ladies, James and the guys were holed up across the hall with explicit instructions to not look out any windows…or else!
As the ceremony time approached it seemed the weather wasn’t going to cooperate. Fingers were crossed that the impending rain would hold off until after the ceremony and when the guests were safely inside the Artisan Ballroom.
Lisa made it down the aisle but not soon after the ceremony started so did the rain. In an organized rush all the guests and the Barr Mansion staff made a beeline for the Ballroom. Kudos to Abby and her team for their quick response and resetting the Ballroom to accommodate everyone. Once settled, the ceremony picked up where it left off.
Lisa and Jake were the best through the whole situation. A little rain wasn’t going to ruin their wedding day.
I really love the colors Lisa chose- the deep purple with the contrasting white and green were beautiful- especially against this backdrop.
Love the saber arches at military weddings!
Lisa and Jake, we wish you all the best in the coming years! Thank you for giving us the opportunity to be apart of your day.










This is a beautiful wedding. I would not have guessed it got rained on! And I agree that the colors are great. I especially enjoy the shots with the house — what a lovely backdrop.
