Taylor and Jeffery’s beautiful October wedding day began early in the morning at the Main House. Taylor and her bridesmaids relaxed while getting their hair and makeup done. Jeffery and his groomsmen got ready separately in the Settler’s House. Several groomsmen took turns teaching the others the proper way to tie a tie while Jeffery and Taylor exchanged personalized gifts for each other. Their adorable daughter arrived later in the morning after a short nap. She enjoyed a special hair and makeup session with Taylor before dressing into her gown. Not a dry eye was in sight as Taylor helped her daughter into her bridesmaid dress and matching bridesmaid jacket. Next, Taylor and Jeffery shared a first look and private vows before the wedding ceremony.
As the wedding ceremony was nearing, guests filled the evergreen garden. As the sun began to shift in the late October sky, Jeffery made his way down the aisle with their puppy in hand. Guests (and myself included!) were full of tears as their sweet daughter threw rose petals as she descended past guests. Symbolizing many years of happiness together, the wedding ceremony concluded with the Jewish tradition of the Breaking of the Glass. Afterwards, Taylor and Jeffery spent time getting family portraits while guests enjoyed cocktail hour before the reception began.
