There are some weddings that feel like a fairytale from beginning to end. Abigail and Jace’s Wedding at Great Marsh Estate was exactly that.
Held on a warm Thursday surrounded by just their closest loved ones, this day was the definition of heartfelt, elegant, and joy-filled. With only about 20 guests in attendance, every moment felt intentional and deeply personal. An experience that centered on family, love, and beauty.
From the moment the day began, everything about this wedding felt regal. With a soft pink palette woven throughout their florals, paper goods, and attire, Abigail and Jace’s vision of an elegant, romantic celebration came to life. I jokingly kept calling them the “royal couple” but truly, that’s how the day felt. They were so kind and connected, it made the whole day feel really special.
Abigail poured so much heart into the details, and it showed in her custom invitation suite, the details were so elegant. The soft pinks, blush tones, and rich floral accents created a romantic, feminine palette that felt timeless and elevated. Every piece, from the stationery to the floral touches, reflected the elegance and grace of the day.
After capturing the most stunning detail shots, we moved into one of the most touching parts of the day, the first look. Both Abigail and Jace were overcome with emotion as they saw each other for the first time. There were tears, laughter, and a deep sense of joy that carried through the entire day.
Following their first look, Abigail shared additional first looks with her dad and her brothers. Her father’s emotional reaction and the warm support from her family highlighted just how loved this couple is. It was a beautiful reminder that weddings are about more than just two people. They’re about the community that surrounds and supports them.
Their ceremony took place outside the stunning Great Marsh Estate, with a gentle breeze balancing out the summer warmth. Their vows were tear-filled and powerful. They spoke about the love they had prayed for, and it was evident to everyone in attendance that this was the answer to those prayers.
Immediately following the ceremony, Abigail and Jace shared their first dance right at the end of the aisle – a beautiful, unique touch. Their string quartet, who had also played during the ceremony, performed “From This Moment”as the newlyweds swayed together in warm summer glow.
After their first dance, we transitioned into family portraits, heartfelt toasts, and a light hors d’oeuvres-style reception. Abigail and Jace cut their cake with the biggest smiles, some of my favorite photos from the entire day! It was an atmosphere filled with gratitude, closeness, and love.
As the sun began to set, we explored the property for their bride and groom portraits. Great Marsh Estate offers no shortage of breathtaking backdrops, and we made sure to capture every corner. These portraits were a priority for Abigail and Jace, and the results were everything we hoped for. Soft glowy light, effortless love, and moments they’ll cherish forever.
From start to finish, this wedding felt like something out of a dream. Abigail’s dress was timeless, Jace’s look was classic, and the way their color palette of blacks and pinks tied everything together was stunning. I absolutely loved working at Great Marsh. Their vendor team went above and beyond to make the day seamless, especially Brittney with Forever Moments, who coordinated the day to perfection.
Abigail and Jace, thank you for letting me be part of such a sacred and beautiful day. Your love story is so special, and I’ll be reliving your wedding for years to come! May The Lord richly bless your marriage.
