Documentary Wedding Photography at Bowling Green KY Family Farm
We’ve known Sydney for years, mainly because we kept seeing her at weddings 😂! We were beyond thrilled when she announced her engagement, because honestly this girl deserves the world. And then we met Clay, and it was sooo evident that he worshiped the ground she walked on 🥲
We did their engagement photos in Bowling Green earlier in the summer in preparation for their Thanksgiving weekend wedding. I was a little concerned that the weather would be wet/rainy, so Sydney and I worked out a backup rain plan at the venue… But it ended up being the BEST weather with perfect cloud coverage! We even got the perfect amount of sun peeking out during their first look.
Sydney & Clay told us they wanted the day to be no-fuss easy & fun, and it certainly was. Their venue, The Barn at 3M Farms, is actually owned by Clay’s aunt! You really don’t need to do much to make Kentucky farmland look beautiful, but Jules with the Flowers worked her magic on the most beautiful autumn arrangements that fit in with the scenery so perfectly. And both Sydney’s gown (and that CAPE!) along with Clay’s custom suit came from local Bowling Green vendors B. Bridal and FHG Clothiers, because shopping local is EVERYTHING.
It was so sweet to walk into East Main BG the morning of the wedding and immediately rush into a flurry of “OMG how are you”s & hugs. We knew almost ALL of them from either meeting them at previous weddings/shooting their weddings in the past! It was the best reminder of what makes this job so sweet. All this, along with all the sentimentality-infused touches (like a framed photo of Sydney & her dad to reserve a seat in his memory, personal vow readings during their first look, and Clay sporting his new tattoo, Sydney’s initial on his ring finger — seriously, swoon!!!) made for a day that was perfectly “them.” Enjoy a collection of our faves from the day.
