Dylan & Jordan | Country Farm Warrenton, Virginia Wedding Photographer

I can say there is always a first! This was my first real experience having a full out rain storm during a wedding! But I’m feeling fortunate because Dylan and Jordan did not allow the bad weather to ruin their day! They carried on with the secondary plans and went with it with a smile on their face. 🙂 And really, I felt at home with their set up as it took place at Jordan’s farm … so of course when I walked into the barn and saw the lights, my jaw dropped! They have been renovating and the work definitely paid off as it looked spectacular!

Dylan and Jordan had one heck of a celebration after the rain storm swept through the dinner setting and brought everyone into the barn for a cozy and intimate reception. Of course this means for a great party on the dance floor … and man, the family and friends knew how to party! In fact, the DJ noticed how much fun they were having that he offered to stay longer! Now, that’s a party!

Dylan and Jordan, thank you for keeping your spirits high through the messy weather because your day turned out bright and beautiful after all!!! 🙂 CONGRATS to you two and enjoy the preview from your wedding day! xoxo

Forecast for the reception… Let’s just say that we all got a little cozy in the barn after the rain and wind decided to drench the guests. The DJ definitely had it easy getting everyone to the dance floor! 😉
