Sharing a few highlights from the Taylor’s October, 2020 wedding at Mont Lamm Events, 7501 W Enoch Rd., Clayton. Photos shown here were taken by Oxana Brik Photography.
First I want to say how proud I am of all the couples who had to make so many changes to their dream wedding plans last year and those who are still facing changes in 2021. Your positive outlook, joyful attitudes and willingness to embrace the changes is commendable. Though your dream wedding plans have gone through major shifts you still are celebrating love in beautiful ways.
Oxana Brik Photography did a lovely job of capturing the Taylors wedding and beautifully showing their love story through photos. Today I wanted to share how she captured not only a couple in love, enjoying their day but also the beauty of their venue and how it complimented their style. I love how she used elegant sweeping willow branches of Mont Lamm Events large willow tree to create such a romantic airy frame for a variety of the couples pictures. I like how she tied in the venues sunflower garden with the Taylors and her sunflower bouquet. It’s a charming photo next to the weathered wood fence and sunflowers peeking over don’t you think? Then the way she displayed Leslie’s boots and bouquet on the wine barrel next to the reception hall window. A perfect spot for making the reds in her bouquet pop next to the red siding. And the venues far corner birch arbor lightly adorned with sunflowers added a little more floral interest to the ceremony area that is nestled in the privacy of deep green arborvitae shrubs. The last photo I choose to share is of Leslie with her bouquet on the porch of the sweet little bridal suite cabin. I appreciate Oxana’s eye for lighting and locations at the venue that really enhanced the couples vision for their wedding day. And the folks at Mont Lamm Events do a beautiful job of upkeeping the grounds, planting pots of flowers and in beds that provide additional fun spots for some of those special photos.
I think it’s valuable when couples start to consider venues for their wedding that they really consider what is the look and feel they want for their wedding day. Take time to explore venues that will easily support that vision. There are so many beautiful venues here in the Inland North West that have their own unique flare that I’m sure couples will find several that would be perfect for their day. Same with selecting photographers. Don’t just do price shopping, look at their work and how they showcase the couples and select photographers to visit with that you feel would get your vision, whose style of work excites you and of course read the reviews. Reviews for all your vendors and venues will give you good insight into what other couples experienced and may help you narrow down your choices. Your vendors are all experts in their field and I think when you take time to really inquire about them as individuals and their passion for their work, you will find the ones that are going to be a perfect match for you.
