A Romantic & Fun Country Chic Wedding at Covered Bridge: Rachel + Michael
When you think of a "beautiful, no-stress" wedding day, Rachel and Michael’s celebration at Covered Bridge is exactly what comes to mind. As a wedding photographer, there is nothing better than walking into a room and immediately "feeling the love," and this day was overflowing with it.
From the vibrant palette of sage, cranberry, terracotta, and rust to the high-energy dance floor, this wedding was the perfect blend of traditional elegance and a high-energy party.
The Style: Bright, Airy, and Country Chic
Rachel and Michael chose a Country Chic theme that perfectly complemented the rustic charm of Covered Bridge. We leaned into a Bright and Airy editing style to make those stunning wedding colors pop. The contrast of the deep cranberry and rust against the soft sage greenery created a warm, inviting atmosphere that felt both seasonal and timeless.
Meaningful Traditions and Intimate Moments
One of the most touching parts of the day was capturing the couple's religious and personal traditions. Before they even saw each other, Rachel and Michael shared a quiet moment praying together. It was a beautiful way to center themselves before the ceremony while exchanging gifts and reading their vows.
The ceremony itself was rich with heritage, including a traditional Rosary ceremony and the exchange of coins (Las Arras). These are the moments that make a wedding truly unique, and I was honored to capture these cultural touches for them to look back on.
A Celebration Full of Personality
Rachel and Michael made it clear from the start: they wanted fun photos. From their first kiss as husband and wife to a "something fun" exit at the end of the aisle, the joy was infectious.
The reception was where the party really took off. We always say the right entertainment makes the night, and let me tell you—the DJ was the bomb! The dance floor was packed, the energy was through the roof, and everyone had the best time celebrating the new Mr. and Mrs.
Decor and Details
We made sure to prioritize the details that meant the most to the couple:
- The Venue: Covered Bridge provided the perfect backdrop for their romantic and fun vibe.
- The Fashion: Rachel’s dress was absolutely stunning, and we made sure to get those "editorial" shots of their rings.
- The Floral Palette: The terracotta and rust tones brought a modern, earthy edge to the traditional country setting.
From the Camera to the Home
Rachel and Michael plan on using their wedding gallery to create custom prints for their new home. There is nothing like seeing your "Bright and Airy" wedding photos on the walls to remind you of the day you promised forever!
Congratulations, Rachel and Michael! Thank you for letting us be a part of your incredible journey.
