florida rustic barn wedding: hilary & jeb

It was a long walk that day, as she made her way beneath the arch of the trees on her father’s arm. The cherry blossoms hung overhead and she couldn’t help but smile as she passed the faces of the people that meant the most to her. This was the fairy tale she had always wished for. It was a long walk that day. But to her, it went by in the blink of an eye. Because just as they say, “time flies when you’re having fun,” it moves even faster when you’re in love. And if there’s one thing the two of them have in abundance, it’s love.

Hilary and Jeb are married, and oh what a wedding this was friends! After their adorable beachy engagement session (ya know, the one where they cuddled and laughed so much it made our hearts BURST?!) we were so incredibly excited for their wedding day, and our expectations were more than exceeded! Every bit of the venue at Florida Rustic Barn weddings was a dream, but we were most obsessed with the outdoor chapel that literally felt like something out of a Disney movie. It just couldn’t have been more romantic.

After putting on the most beautifully fitted gown and a cathedral length veil, Hilary walked out to meet Jeb beneath the canopy of trees for a first look that (in true to this energetic duo’s fashion) ended up with her jumping into his arms. We loved how much of this day felt about them, and how much of it they chose to spend together by doing a first look. From Hilary’s storybook entrance to the ceremony through the wooden doors, to the way Jeb looked at her literally all day long, every bit of this day felt like a fairy tale.

Hilary and Jeb, we’ve had so much fun with you both from the very start and couldn’t have loved your wedding day any more! Thank you so much for letting us be a part of it.

Love + Laughs,

Sarah & Ben
