Venue 

With lush gardens and expansive lawns Cairnwood Estate is a taste of old world Europe right here in our own backyard. Not only does this venue offer a variety of outdoor spots it also offers an abundant amount of indoor locations. Between the grand staircase to the remarkable great hall and the stunning guest rooms you’ll feel like you stepped right into a movie. 

Getting ready 

Cairnwood is already one of the most picture perfect places to get ready. But, Rio and Joseph definitely made the shots. The fireplace adorned with a flower garland made the perfect place for Rio to get into her dress with the help of her mother. Both Rio and Joseph are stunning inside and out and getting to capture their morning was such a pleasure.

Portraits 

Rio and Joseph opted for a first look so we were able to get most of their photos done before the ceremony. When you’re at Cairnwood this is a great option because there are so many photo opportunities you want to make sure you have ample time to get to them all. Pair these photo spots with Rio’s swoon worthy dress and you simply can’t go wrong! 

Ceremony

Rio and Joseph had an emotional outdoor ceremony. With a flower arch and lots of towering trees behind them it made for a magical location. Full of laughter and happy tears Rio and Joseph said “I do” before their family and friends. 

Details 

There were so many fine details about Rio and Joseph’s day. From the way they matched their tablescapes with the paint in the room, the champagne tower and my favorite the guest book quilt. Nothing about this day was overlooked and everything fit together to create the most amazing wedding day!
