Amanda and DJ chose the Saxon Manor Shabby Chic Barn for their wedding. They loved the fact that it was in the Amanda’s home town. The couple said the air changed and it just felt magical as you walked down the dirt road to where the barn stood and I have to agree, it really does feel somewhere enchanted when you are down there.

Before the wedding the fun started off just up the road where the girls had a very large bridal suite, this was a great space for all the detail shots of her dress from The Bride in Ybor and flowers from Couture Wedding and More. As well as photos of the bride getting her hair and makeup done by Carrie at Bella Bombshells.

While I captured everything with the bridal prep, Jonathan headed over and met up with the groom and his wedding party at their air B&B. He grabbed a few shots of them getting ready and popping champagne but saved the portraits for back at the barn.

Right before the ceremony started a large dark cloud moved in and it rained (good luck, right?) but it moved away, and the sun came back out within 30 minutes and the ceremony went exactly as planned. The good luck part about this rain is that it pushed cocktail hour photos back and the sun at this time was just gorgeous the way it shown down through the trees!

The reception was inside the Barn. Where it is beautifully decorated with chandeliers and drapery across the ceiling, it is much more shabby chic than rustic. Their DJ from Fast break entertainment kept the party going and people dancing all night! Dinner was deliciously provided by Olympia.

After lots of dancing and after cutting and smashing their cake from Hands on Sweets, I snuck Amanda and DJ out for a bit to take some photos at night. The rest of the night was full of smiles, laughs and a few hand rolled cigars.

Congratulations Amanda & DJ, we wish you nothing but the best for your future! Please enjoy this preview of your amazing wedding day!
