Mahr Park Arboretum – Event Barn A | Madisonville, KY
Nicole and Gary had their wedding ceremony and reception at the Mahr Park Arboretum’s – Event Barn A in Madisonville, KY on September 19th, 2021.
It was a cloudy and overcast day with a good chance of rain. The couple had wanted an outdoor ceremony and when I arrived, it was misting on the chairs set up outside for their ceremony.
Luckily, they decided to still have the outdoor ceremony on the back patio and it stopped raining just minutes before the ceremony started.
I first want to say congratulations to the newlyweds!
We appreciated the opportunity to capture your memories on your big day and be a small part of your beautiful wedding, it was an honor!
Getting Ready
Nicole and Gary were both getting ready at the venue and were on opposite ends of the building.
I spent my time moving back and forth between the two rooms capturing the couple getting ready with their bridesmaids and groomsmen.
I also spent this time moving throughout the venue and capturing the details of the day during downtime.
This part of the wedding day can really fly by quickly, there is always something happening that needs to be captured.
The Ceremony
Everyone started to arrive and greet each other before the main event.
The arch was moved from inside where it had been protected from the earlier rain, seats had been wiped dry, the ceremony was about to begin, and it suddenly stopped raining.
It all fell into place just right for Nicole and Gary’s wedding ceremony.
A close family member was the officiant for their ceremony, there were plenty of tears and just the right amount of laughs.
The Reception
The wedding reception started directly after the wedding ceremony.
Wedding guests started to eat while the newlyweds, immediate family, and the bridal party took family portraits outside.
After family portraits, Gary and Nicole made their reception entrance immediately followed by their first dance.
They both looked so happy and couldn’t stop laughing and smiling together. They were briefly joined by the kids during their first dance which made for a very sweet moment.
While cutting the wedding cake and feeding each other a piece, the newlyweds continued their laughter and smiles without smashing it in each other’s faces.
Finishing Thoughts
