The Barn on Jackson // Annalisa and Joel

Annalisa and Joel’s wedding at the Barn in Jackson in Chehalis, WA took place on a warm, sunny afternoon. Annalisa and Joel spent so much time and thought into all the details of the day. I hope you see all the hard work they did reflected in their photos. From the flowers to the dessert, each aspect of their day was artfully crafted. The Barn on Jackson provided a beautiful backdrop to their ceremony and reception. The rustic barn was decorated with long tables adorned by candles and greenery. It was magical and charming all at the same time. The ceremony location sits in the middle of an open field and provided the perfect spot for some of the most stunning sunset photos. Truly, the sun was dripping golden rays that evening and their evening romantics are some of my favorite shots of last year.

Annalisa and Joel were two of the kindest souls. I am so thankful that the Lord brought us together and it has been an honor getting to walk through this season of life with them. They love Jesus with all their hearts, and their ceremony was so God-honoring, rich and full-filling to witness and document. One of my favorite parts of the day was the iron branding they did during their ceremony. It was so creative and unique! We were able to maximize the day by doing a first look, bridal party and family photos before the ceremony. So, post ceremony-the party was ON!

The reception party was a BLAST. The Barn on Jackson has the perfect space for an intimate feel even with several hundred guests present. Dancing, drinks and dessert were of plenty! I loved how fun their bridal party was out on the dance floor. It made for some really fun memories and pretty hilarious photos. But, by far, my favorite aspect to document was the sunset, romantic photos. The Barn on Jackson has a huge field and a few of the groomsmen kindly carried a very cool looking couch out to the field for us. We ended the evening with a sparkler exit and tractor getaway!

I’ll never forget this amazing wedding or this beautiful couple. If you are currently planning your wedding and on the search for a wedding photographer, please reach out!!
