Grantville Wedding | Melissa McClain Photography

Jennifer and Garrett hosted a very classy DIY vintage style wedding with hints of lace and burlap, glowing Japanese lanterns, and fill-your-own Mason jar favors for guests.

The couple married in a small family church which boasts huge windows and lots of natural light! Down the aisle, the couple hung natural wooden plaques with snippets burned in from 1 Corinthians, one of which included their last name- “Love Bears All Things”.

Rather than a traditional exit, the couple opted for homemade ribbon streamers which made another appearance later in the evening on the dance floor. Although cutting a small cake, guests were treated to ice cream sundaes following the delicious BBQ feast and some wicked awesome spin the bottle dancing!

After laughing with and getting to know Jessica and Mike during their engagement session a few months ago, we knew their wedding day was going to be nothing short of amazing. From the planned details of their reception decor to the gorgeous blue satin Badgley Mischka shoes Jess chose, their wedding was simply elegant with hints of rustic chic that tied everything together at their Wind in the Willows location fantastically! Jessica, who is in my opinion a splitting image of Rachel Ray meets Jasmine Star, has one of the best and sweetest personalities which was only heightened during their wedding day, especially during their first look when Mike couldn’t help but gush over his gorgeous bride!

Some of our favorite moments, aside from squishing in the recently rained upon fields, were hitting up some must have areas for their posed images which included the plane (mostly for her dad who is an avid lover of aircraft) and for us photographers.. the willows. I couldn’t help but choose one of their stunning images for a metal canvas wall art for our new office! I also have to give mad props to Mike Miller of Mixed Up Productions, one of our preferred DJ friends, who kept the dance floor packed all night. Jessica and Mikes guests literally were up out of there seats and kicking off shoes during “dinner music” hour!
