Bailey & Joe at Bear Brook Valley

Bailey got ready on her wedding day in the beautiful windowed bridal suite at Bear Brook Valley while Joe got dressed downstairs in the groom’s suite with his groomsmen playing pool & hanging out nearby.

Included in the beautiful bridal details was a special set of jewelry for Bailey & Joe’s daughter - a promise ring Joe had gifted her when he proposed to Bailey & a delicate necklace with her initial on it.

The two exchanged private vows under perfect blue skies, then headed to the bridge for some portraits before meeting their bridal party at the barn. There was no hesitation when we told them that it was time to toss the bride!

We couldn’t help sneaking in a few more bridal portraits while Bailey waited to walk down the aisle.

The evening was full of heartfelt toasts, lively dancing, smiles & happy tears. The couple snuck out at blue hour to run around the venue’s vineyards & capture some portraits together before the sun set.

Following their cake cutting, Bailey & Joe surprised guests with a dessert spread & a cigar bar.

We documented bride & groom undressing each other when they snuck back into the bridal suite for an end-of-the-night outfit change.

As a final treat for their family & friends, a McDonalds truck awaited outside as a late night snack that their guests could enjoy before heading home from all the celebrations.
