This was my second “Hagedorn Wedding” last month! I also photographed Jake’s brother’s wedding two weeks prior to this. And I absolutely loved getting to know these families!

Annelise and Jake are the most laid back couple- EVER! We had planned to do a “first look” prior to the wedding ceremony but due to some pre-wedding mishaps Annelise literally had time to throw her dress on and get to the ceremony. Through all of the craziness I never saw her cry, frown or complain. She was all smiles- nothing could put her in a bad mood on her wedding day!

I loved every aspect of this wedding- the mountain setting, the rustic looking cake (done by the one and only Blue Ridge Bakery), the wildflower bouquets, the origami paper cranes hanging in the trees, the tiki torches and the fact that Annelise thought to provide sunscreen, bug spray and hats for her guest to battle the heat.The only thing lacking was a slip-n-slide! 🙂
