Bianca & Dan’s Autumn Wedding at Tarbin Gardens

As the temperature began to cool and the leaves began changing colors, my busy season as a wedding photographer started with Bianca and Dan’s enchanting wedding at the awe-inspiring Tarbin Gardens. The bride had initially described their wedding as a wonderful blend of witchy and nerdy, which is a theme that was able to connect with immediately and only made me more excited for their special day.

Wandering through the fascinating landscape of the Tarbin Gardens seemed like a scene straight out of the Shire, providing the perfect setting for the beautiful bride and groom to share their vows.

I couldn’t wait to begin!

My joy blossomed when I met Bianca while she was getting ready. Her infectious laughter filled the room with joy and set the tone for the day. Bianca, the radiant bride, wore a perpetual smile, except for when I asked otherwise for a photo — showcasing her genuine joy. As the beautiful bride adorned her stunning dress, her bridesmaids were incredibly helpful in ensuring a seamless process of getting the bride ready for the first-look with her groom.

The day officially began with an intimate first-look, an emotional moment where the bride and groom can break some of the tension and share some time alone together before the day has swept them away. Tucked away in the lush gardens, Dan’s eyes welled up with tears of love and beauty when he turned towards his bride. Tarbin Gardens is full of picturesque locations, practically everywhere you turn, which provided an ever-changing backdrop for their first-look and portrait sessions.

Following their first look and brief portrait session we moved our way to the formal garden for their enchanting wedding ceremony. The formal garden has hedges and flowerbeds along each side and an arbor with ancient grape vines. Their wedding ceremony was something out of a fairytale and my photos captured it all perfectly.
