Mr. & Mrs. Craig were married outdoors, with a ceremony under a white-draped arch on the lawn and a reception under white tents. Their bridesmaids wore sage green, the groomsmen wore light gray, and the gardens around them were full of coneflowers.

Getting Ready

The bride got ready with her bridesmaids close by, while the groom and his groomsmen kept things light in their own room.

The First Look

They saw each other for the first time out on the lawn. He turned around, and the reaction says everything.

The Ceremony

The ceremony was held under a white-draped arch, with their wedding party lined up on either side and the trees all around them.

Portraits in the Garden

After the ceremony we took them through the gardens. The coneflowers gave us one of our favorite details of the day: their hands and rings among the blooms.

A Reception Under the Tents

The celebration moved under white tents on the lawn, with cake, music and a dance floor full of people who came ready to celebrate.
