Haycroft Farm Destination Wedding: Jarrod & Caitlin

July 15, 2019

Jarrod and Caitlin flew all the way from New Zealand to get married, and they chose the beautiful Haycroft as their venue. This venue is mind-blowingly beautiful: the forest is row upon row of trees, with light and shadows peeping through, and the sunset was out of this world.

Bridal Prep in the Haycroft Bridal Suite

The bridal suite at Haycroft is pretty perfect, with big, bright windows and gorgeous light. Caitlin’s dress was made by her aunt, and her dad’s reaction was such an emotional and special moment to witness. Her hair and makeup were also done by her friends, who happened to be part of her bridal retinue, which I thought was pretty cool.

Personal Vows and Cheesecake in the Forest

The ceremony was filled with tears and very special vows written by the couple themselves. After the ceremony, the couple cut their cheesecake in the beautiful forest.

Forest Portraits and a Sunset Boat Ride

We then had so much fun in the forest. The bridal retinue was a blast, and Caitlin looked absolutely gorgeous between the trees and the setting sun.

I was so excited when Caitlin told me they wanted to head out onto the water in a tiny boat. With the sun setting over the water, we got some amazing shots!

The Reception

We then headed to the reception for incredible food, so much laughter and a crazy party!

Caitlin and Jarrod, thank you so much for letting me be part of your day. It was such an honour to witness your love story!
