Kelly and Steve’s rustic garden themed wedding at the Welkinweir Estate was the perfect blend of effortless romance with pretty, rustic details. Nestled in 197 acres of preserved land, a historic stone estate house sits next to a lake reflecting magnificent woodlands. Welkinweir, translates to “where the sky meets the water”, so Kelly chose a color scheme of shades of blue.
I loved the library for bridal preparations, lined with warm wood as Kelly dressed for her first look with Steve by the water. A sweet outdoor ceremony included a tree planting ceremony and some opportunity for bridal party photos during cocktail hour. Kelly assembled several of our favorite vendors including food by The Columbia Station | Robert Ryan Catering & Design, and music by Band Lima Bean Riot, one of the best wedding bands around. Beautiful blue arrangements by Florist dawn ekdahl and Kelly’s stunning lace dress byPA Wedding Dress Retailer Bridal sophisticate.
So congratulations to Kelly and Steve! And thank you for letting me be a part of your journey.

Gorgeous wedding venue!! You made such good use of the grounds at the Welkinweir Estate from the library portraits to the continued festivities outdoors. The wedding reception photos are lit perfectly, and the portraits of the bride and groom are simply dreamy. Everything fit into their rustic garden theme, even the ring detail shots! Great work!
